Two of life’s greatest challenges can be getting free from Substance abuse/addiction and codependency. I think we all know what substance abuse is (Drugs, alcohol et al), but did you know one of the most common roots is codependency? But what is codependency? Simply defined, Codependency is the compulsion to rescue or control others or be controlled or rescued by others. Codependency is rooted in the four false beliefs: False Belief #1: I must meet certain standards in order to feel good about myself. If I fail to meet these standards, I cannot really feel good about myself. (Fear of Failure) False Belief #2: I must have the approval of certain others to feel good about myself. If I do not have the approval of these people, I cannot accept myself. (Fear of Rejection) False Belief #3: Those who fail me (including me) are unworthy of love and deserve to be punished. (Fear of Punishment; propensity to punish others) False Belief #4: I am what I am. I cannot change. I am hopeless. (Feelings of Shame) Through Celebrate Recovery we can learn what God’s answers are for these problems.How Can Celebrate Recovery Help? Celebrate Recovery is a step based recovery program designed to help us get free from addiction and codependency through the Love and Truth of Jesus Christ.
