Celebrate Recovery Pella

I was broken and hurting. Trapped in dangerous, unhealthy strongholds ....medicating anxiety, numbing my pain. Stuck in a bad place with little hope and nowhere to go. Nowhere but up. And I had no idea how.

Then I found Celebrate Recovery.

Progress over perfection!!

I grew up perfecting perfection. I HAD to be perfect!! Everything HAD to be perfect.

At a very young age I learned that I "had" to "be perfect"

I strived to be a good girl, one who was always happy and caused no trouble so my parents wouldn't fight. I carried that all throughout my school days , never having a countering opinion so I would have friends. I was the happy, funny fat girl......easy to get along with, never causing a playground quarrel or high school drama. As a young mom I strived to have that perfect home and family. My standards for myself were high and I worked hard to maintain them
It was all consuming.
And oh so wearing.

Sadly, that's all I knew.
And I thought life was... well....... perfect.

Until I broke...... and depression, anxiety and addiction reared their faces. I was broken and raw with really rough edges. Life was FAR from perfect, and I felt like a failure. I wanted to die......literally.

Through a friend I found Celebrate Recovery. I was nervous to go and ready to pretend life was smooth sailing if I needed to. That is what I did in public venues. I couldn't let people in on the secret that I was in trouble. But guess what!? Everyone at this meeting was broken and messy . And they even talked about it!!!

It honestly took me a while to let myself be real. In fact , it's several years later and I'm still learning. But that"s OK. It's all about the progress. And let me tell you, on this road I CAN'T be perfect. Recovery is messy.

I'm learning who God created me to be. One step at a time. One day at a time. And every step forward brings more peace.

Are you longing for peace?

Celebrate Recovery meets every Thursday evening at 5:30 at The Well in Pella.

Come and find yourself.
Come and find peace.
See you soon!

Life can be hard. REALLY hard!!!
Hard enough that you want to give up.
So hard that you want to numb with drugs, alcohol, p**n. people pleasing, or (you name your vice) so you don't have to feel.
You feel abandoned, hopeless, overwhelmed, depressed.
Maybe you've burned so many bridges that you're standing alone in chest high water.

My friends, there is a place for you.
There's a seat waiting for you at Celebrate Recovery.
