I really believe that God brought me to AA. I know my path and I believe God brought me to AA. And AA, and I know we've heard this before, but AA has brought me back to God.
Picture yourself in a cozy coffee shop, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with heartfelt conversations about recovery. That's exactly where Darren, Mike, and Glenn find themselves as they dive into a deep discussion about Celebrate Recovery (CR). Darren opens up about his 30-year battle with alcohol addiction, sharing how he attended countless AA meetings but never quite felt at home. It wasn’t until he discovered CR that he found the support and acceptance he was searching for.
Celebrate Recovery stands out with its unique blend of faith and fellowship. Unlike traditional AA meetings, CR is deeply rooted in Christian principles, incorporating prayer, scripture, and worship songs into its 12-step program. Each step is paired with Bible verses, and members participate in step studies as a group rather than one-on-one with a sponsor. Darren describes how this religious aspect brought him a sense of peace and community that he hadn't experienced before.
Mike and Glenn also share their personal journeys with AA and their spiritual growth, highlighting the compatibility and differences between the two paths. The conversation is warm and engaging, offering listeners a fresh perspective on recovery options. Darren's story is not just about finding sobriety but also about finding a supportive community that shares his faith.
For those curious about CR or looking for an alternative to AA, this episode provides valuable insights and practical advice on how to find a CR group near you. Additionally, Darren introduces his own podcast, New Endings Radio, where he interviews people who share their life stories and journeys towards change. So, grab your favorite cup of coffee and join Mike, Glenn, and Darren in this enlightening episode.
Whether you're new to recovery or exploring different paths, you'll find inspiration and hope in their shared experiences.
