SUMMARY:CELEBRATE RECOVERY ALTON
LOCATION:Celebrate Recovery Alton\, 1422 Washington Ave\, Alton\, IL 6
2002
DESCRIPTION:We often begin our CR meetings with\, &ldquo\;Welcome to C
elebrate Recovery\, a safe place to effectively deal with your hurts\,
hang-ups\, and habits through working the Christ Centered 12 Steps an
d 8 Recovery Principles of Celebrate Recovery!"\n\n That&rsquo\;s grea
t\, but&hellip\;what do we mean by &ldquo\;hurts\, hang-ups\, and habi
ts?&rdquo\; \n\nGenerally\, a hurt\, hang-up\, or habit can be anythin
g that keeps you from realizing your full potential as a person. Hurts
\, hang-ups\, and habits can knock you off God&rsquo\;s life plan for 
you and throw you into a worldly detour headed toward destruction and 
despair.\n\nHURTS A &ldquo\;hurt&rdquo\; could be classified as any li
fe experience that may have damaged your heart\, some offense against 
you that crippled your ability to deal with the world in a healthy way
. Something that may have twisted your view of yourself\, God or other
s. Any life experience that may have damaged your heart. Some common h
urts include:\n\n \n\nAbandonment\nAbortion\nAbused as a child\, or by
a spouse\, or another\nAdoption\nBetrayal\nDysfunctional family (divo
rce\, alcoholism\, drug abuse\, rage\, etc.)\nGrief\nNeglect\nRape\nRe
jection\nCheating\, affairs\nUnforgiveness\n\n HANG-UPS &ldquo\;Hang-u
ps&rdquo\; are those roadblocks that keep you from progressing further
in God&rsquo\;s plan for your life. They are often shaped by some ben
t thinking you may have received as a child\, or some unhealthy attitu
de you may have adopted as a means of coping with life&rsquo\;s challe
nges. Here are some common hang-ups.\n\n \n\nAnger\nAnxiety\, worry\nA
rrogance\nBody image \nBullying\, bigotry\nCodependency\nControl \nDep
ression\nFear\nGreed\, envy\nGuilt (false) and/or shame\nLack of self-
control\nLack of trust in God\nLaziness\nMaterialism\nPeople pleasing\
nPerfectionism\nPride\nProcrastination\n\n \n\nHABITS Finally\, &ldquo
\;habits&rdquo\; tend to be unhealthy patterns that often start as a p
erceived &ldquo\;remedy&rdquo\; for some problem in your life but end 
up turning into a chronic bad behavior or addiction. Habits are the re
peat\, default scripts you run to when the going gets tough and contin
ually lead to trouble in your life. Ineffective behaviors that are oft
en used to cope with a hurt. Some common habits are:\n\n \n\nAbusive b
ehavior\nAlcohol\nBitterness\nCodependency\nDrugs\nEating disorders\nG
ambling\nGossip\nLying\nSelf-harm\nSexual Integrity\nSpending problems
