Celebrate Recovery is no success story in the ordinary sense
of the word. It is a story of suffering transmuted, under grace, into spiritual
progress.
Upon entering Celebrate Recovery, I listen to others talk
about the reality of their addiction: loneliness, terror, and pain. As I
listened further, I soon heard a description of a very different kind – the
reality of sobriety. It is a reality of freedom and happiness, of purpose and
direction, and of serenity and peace with God, ourselves and others. By
attending meetings I am reintroduced to that reality, over and over. I see it
in the eyes a hearing in the voices of those around me. By working the program,
I find the direction and strength with which to make it mine. The joy of
Celebrate Recovery is that this new reality is available to me.
