CR Lesson 1 - DENIAL

[@kathleenblair7278]

I have been sober for several years. In spite of the anger I know that God is with me, and the pain will subside.

[@amandaseevers9199]

find out where is the anger coming from.

Celebrate Recovery is changing my life

[@kathleenblair7278]

I have been in AA for over 30 years. I work hours that keep me from attending church. I struggle with anger, anxiety, and depression. My customer told me about Celebrate Recovery. I want to understand the 12 Steps from a Biblical Perspective.

[@kathleenblair7278]

I listened to this message, and somehow thought it was a formula for happiness. Maya Angelo said: "If he shows you who he is, then believe him." A man got in touch with me, a little ways down the road he showed me his true self, and it does not line up with a Christian lifestyle. I want to get involved with him. I want to lie to myself and think he will change. I want to lie to myself because the pain of facing the truth head on is lonely and painful. No sex, to alcohol, nothing to anestitize the pain. I know God loves me, but life on life's terms is painful.

This guy is good. Very sincere, very practical. Who is he? (And well done Pam - sorry they cut you off. It’s a fallen world 😂)

I would also like to say that I don't work Step 1, 2, etc. In step one I have to go through all of the steps of the grieving process. Right now I am ANGRY that this man attempted to decieve me.

Denial...it ain't just a river in Egypt.

[@angielang600]

Awesome

[@kathleenblair7278]

A man sent me a nude picture. I am lonely and did not want to accep that what he did was wrong or that he had some kind of compulsion. I told myself that this was a misunderstanding until he started asking inappropriate questiond. My lonliness had blinded me from the truth. Elizabeth Kubler Ross compares denial as a problem that is painful and we avoid looking at it because the sun is in our eyes.

Hello, How can I contact you?

[@RyanPliske]

I thank you for your incredible wisdom and sharing it with the world. However I encourage you to say Alcoholics Anonymous instead of “the 12 step program”. I know AA took these from the tenets of the Oxford Group. But at least in AA literature it makes note of the Oxford Group. You however aren’t pointing accurately to history. The 12 steps come from the book Alcoholics Anonymous.

Frustrating, you can't see what is on the screen.
