What are Hurts, Habits and Hangups?

You may be thinking that recovery is only for those with alcohol or drug problems. This could not be further from the truth. Celebrate Recovery mentions “recovery from life’s hurts, hang-ups and habits.” But what does this mean? A hurt, habit or hang-up is something in you or your life that hinders your walk with God and others. THESE LIFE PROBLEMS CAN BE STUMBLING BLOCKS OR STEPPING STONES! If you struggle with one or more of the effects defined in the following, Celebrate Recovery can offer a solution of healing for you.

Hurt

To experience physical pain caused by yourself or another; to feel emotional pain; undergo or experience difficulties or setbacks. The feeling of being hurt is an emotional reaction to another person’s behavior or to a disturbing situation -(e.g., abuse, abandonment, codependency, divorce, relationship issues, etc.)

Habit

Regular repeated behavior pattern. An action or pattern of behavior that is repeated so often that it becomes typical of somebody, although he or she may be unaware of it. Addiction, such as an addiction to a drug, food or some other stimuli that deadens ones feelings. A habit is an addiction to someone or something (e.g., alcohol dependency, drugs, food, gambling, sex, shopping, smoking, etc.).

Healing and growth are possible by applying the principles of Celebrate Recovery to your life!

Hangup

A psychological or emotional problem or fixation about something. An issue that causes persistent impediment or source of delay. Hang-ups are negative mental attitudes that are used to cope with people or adversity (e.g., anger, depression, fear, unforgiveness, etc.)

CR Identifies 8 Principles and 12 Steps toward Recovery


8 PRINCIPLES TO RECOVERY BASED ON THE BEATITUDES


1. Realize I’m not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and that my life is unmanageable. 

“Blessed are those who know that they are spiritually poor.” Matthew 5:3


2. Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him and that He has the power to help me recover. 

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:4


3. Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ’s care and control. 

“Blessed are the meek.” Matthew 5:5


4. Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust.

“Blessed are the pure in heart.” Matthew 5:8


5. Voluntarily submit to any and all changes God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. 

“Blessed are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires.” Matthew 5:6


6. Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I’ve done to others when possible, except when to do so would harm them or others. 

“Blessed are the merciful.” Matthew 5:7; “Blessed are the peacemakers” Matthew 5:9


7. Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will. 


8. Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and my words. 

“Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.” Matthew 5:10                                                                                 

Celebrate Recovery started in 1991 at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California. There are now 35,000 Celebrate Recovery churches around the world, and that number continues to grow. CR is part of a movement that is bringing the healing power of Jesus Christ to the hurting and broken through working Celebrate Recovery’s Step Studies, The Journey Begins, and The Journey Continues. To date, over five million individuals have completed a Step Study.


In addition, Celebrate Recovery is not just growing in churches, but in recovery houses, rescue missions, universities, and prisons around the world. New Mexico was the first state to adopt Celebrate Recovery into its state prison system and now has Celebrate Recovery pods in all its state prisons. In August 2004, Celebrate Recovery was announced as California’s state-approved substance abuse program for prisons.
