Keep on keeping on!

Things we don’t say enough in recovery:
Progress doesn’t always feel like progress.

Sometimes progress looks like getting back up.
Sometimes it looks like saying no.
Sometimes it looks like asking for help.
Sometimes it’s simply choosing not to give up.

Recovery isn’t always a straight line, and growth isn’t always easy to see while you’re in the middle of it.

Don’t dismiss the small steps. God is still at work.

“Do not despise these small beginnings...”
Zechariah 4:10

Keep going. What feels small today may be evidence of how far you’ve already come.

Encouragement - CR acrostic-style - for fall

October is here, and it’s a great reminder that recovery is built one choice, one step, and one day at a time.

At Celebrate Recovery, we can stay OPEN to God’s grace, CHOOSE honesty, TURN from old patterns, OFFER encouragement, BELIEVE healing is possible through Jesus, EMBRACE community, and REMEMBER that we never have to walk this journey alone.

As we move through this month, which word in this October acrostic speaks to you the most right now?

Drop your word in the comments and tell us why.
