You Don't Have to go it Alone

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, 12 says,

“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”

This verse tells us that we are better together, that we shouldn’t try to go through recovery alone. This is especially true for those of us in Celebrate Recovery. We need each other.

Here’s the truth, recovery can be hard, not all of the time, there is incredible victory too, but at times it can be hard. But, you don’t have to go through it alone. That’s why we suggest everyone builds a team of accountability partners and a sponsor. These are key relationships that help us all as we journey through recovery. The best place to find these relationships is at a Celebrate Recovery meeting near you. These people should be folks you can meet face to face. They should be the same gender as yourself and be people that can help lead you closer to Christ.

Having a team of people around us can make all the difference in the world. In fact, in order to progress through the 8 Celebrate Recovery Principles, we need other people. If you’re going through a rough time right now, a solid group of people can help you walk through it. When things are going well it can be easy to put forming these groups on the back burner. But, it’s a good bet that each of us is going to need to lean on others sooner or later. It’s a good idea to start forming these relationships now, before you need them.

In Celebrate Recovery we need Jesus Christ as our High Power, our Lord and Savior, and we need other people to keep us accountable and focused. Remember, “Two are better than one.”
