Evil stuff.

Please don’t! Our peace and serenity depend on the principles behind the Serenity Prayer.

We can control our actions, God is in charge of the outcome. He won’t mess up!

And 8, It always helps me to say a grateful prayer to start the day.

If this is your first Christmas sober, it is normal to feel a little unsure. The goal is not a perfect holiday. The goal is to protect your peace and wake up proud the next day.

1. Set boundaries
You can skip events, leave early, or say no to people who do not respect your choice.

2. Keep your story simple
You do not owe explanations. Try: “I am not drinking right now. I feel better this way.”

3. Expect real life, not a movie
Someone will be late, plans will change, moods will happen. Take a breath and let it pass.

4. Bring your own drink
Show up with a non alcoholic option you actually like. Having something in your hand helps.

5. Have an exit plan
Drive yourself, have a ride ready, or text a supportive friend if cravings hit.

6. Start a new tradition
Cookies, a walk, lights, movies, a cozy morning coffee. Anything that feels calm and present.

7. Do one kind thing
Donate, volunteer, check in on someone. Giving back keeps your focus in the right place.

But you still have to come to believe the first thee steps.

It’s easy to spend so much of our energy in the can’t control column that we don’t have any left for working on the “can control” column. Celebrate Recovery can help!

At Celebrate Recovery we have faith in our recovery. The world and our past may have labeled us broken and hopeless but getting closer to God through Jesus Christ by working the steps and principles of the program have given us a label of working progress towards freedom. We know that recovery is a process and it takes time to overcome our hurts habits and/or hang ups. After all it took some time to develop our issues and problems. That is why we always say to keep coming back. Little by little and step by step God’s Amazing Grace heals and restores us. And we have a forever family here encouraging and cheering us on as we work through our milestones and have breakthroughs in our recovery. Understanding your recovery is key. This Christ centered recovery program has helped hundreds of thousands of people find their freedom in Jesus Christ. Celebrate Recovery can help you too! Freedom is very possible and the program works if you work it. So what are you waiting for? You don’t have to wear that broken label anymore! Get started today!

Come as you are and get plugged in with a CR Sponsor or Accountability Partner that will help you work towards your own personal freedom. Bring a friend if you want and remember, Recovery is a process so Keep Coming Back!!!
