I reside in rockland county New York and we have a samll group of men and also a small womens group that meet on Sunday. i read some comments on the CR website and like to share some thoughts. There are two DPI publication one is called Some Sat in Darkness and the other Rejocie Always. I Highly recomend these books as a good guide for us alone with the Bible.
Furthermore The AA big book has a chaphter called to the wives which is a good guide.
As far as attending meetings AA as well as Al-alon
is good but just as the any meeting it best to exaime the scriptures asd well as the other books I mention to see if what you here at meetings agree with the writen word. Thank you so much for allowing me to share these thoughts with you.
I respect you all for you passion to recover and help others to recover as well. Vic

Hi. I'm a disciple from the Indian Church of Christ, Mumbai. My husband is an alcoholic. We got married in the church. Unfortunately, he never got over his drinking problem. We were both serving in the ministry. We were asked to step down once it was discovered. He was soon asked to take a 'break' from Church. Two months ago, he decided to quit, but went through a bad withdrawl. This followed with hospitalization and now he is in rehab. I've learned since then that I've been a codependent. However, some of things I've learned at Al-Anon are not quite biblical as they teach us to be selfish. Looking for friends who can really understand as out here we cannot get access to books and support groups.

Hope, I work with a group of women going through Codependency Recovery. We are starting the book Discover Joy by Dr. Joy Bodzioch. It doesn't deal with co-dependency directly, but many of the issues she addresses are related to issues we have as codependents. I believe that as we get our hearts right, God uses that to affect our husbands. Much love and prayer,

My husband is a disciple...unfortunately, he had relapsed many times during this time. He recognizes that he has a problem and make many attempts to recover, but he fails again.... He is an awesome man when connected with God. The relapses had made him loose hope. We don't have a CR ministry in the area that we are at...
I in the other hand had not been able to remain righteous when addressing his sin. What can I do...

In my opinion the best way to help someone to stay "smoke free" is to help them see that a drug is a drug is a drug. To make too much of the distinction between drugs can be harmful. Pointing a smoker to this site will help them with the root of their smoking: their addiction and thinking. The site helps us to renew our minds.
bullet jmrobe1 on Friday, December 25, 2009 - 07:15:01
Hey Linda,
I have a success story for you to share with our sister:
by the grace and power of God, through our LORD Jesus Christ, I have been smoke free for 8 years now. One of my favotite motivational scriptures has been Titus 2:11-14.
Your brother in Christ,
John (from St. Louis)
bullet hmullan on Tuesday, December 15, 2009 - 17:06:24
Using the search bar brings up 28 articles that include smoking. Have you read through them? If so, what do you feel that you need specifically
bullet lindylulu on Tuesday, December 15, 2009 - 09:54:12
In our group we have someone who is overcoming smoking. I don't really see much here about that. Are there any success stories out there I can share with this sister and her journey to stay smoke free. Thanks in advance

Hey JoeAnderson,
Good of you to stop by. Don't be a stranger.!lol

When asked a week ago to go to this site. I said I would. When asked this past Sunday if I did, my response was that I didn't. But before I could respond, the first word that came to my mind was "Addict". So glad to read through the site and experience these recovery encouraging statements and articles.
bullet hmullan on Friday, December 04, 2009 - 16:33:49
Hi Sparkiling,
Firstly, I admire the fact that you are not afraid to ask these questions. An addict, briefly defined is a person who uses a substance, experiences negative consequences, yet continues to use. How much or how often they use is not important to this definition. The negativity of the consequences may be felt either by themselves or by those around them as they may be oblivious to hurting others by their actions. Does this help?
bullet sparkling on Monday, November 30, 2009 - 20:25:01
question. I've been readying a lot of info, and i'm not sure where I stand. I mean I read stories of people doing lots of hard drugs for years and having years of drunken hazes; and for them I'm sure having the title of an addict is appropriate. However, what about the person who has used marijuana and alcohol on and off for a couple years and has managed to have several months with neither and really hasn't had any hard consequences? I'm i setting myself up to fail by not calling myself an addict or am I OK if i've had long periods of soberity?

Seems to me there's been something of a scam going on. We certainly didn't learn about this side of Lincoln when I was in school. On the contrary, we were routinely told how irreligious our historical leaders were. Lincoln like so many others I've been learning about seemed to be more of a christian than many of our contemporary Christian leaders. What else have they been hiding from us?

CR for teens, no, but if a teen is old enough to get high he needs to be in a room of adult addicts. No need for a specialized teen group.

CR/TR broken chains Women's group in Westchester would like to welcome all women who are in need of healing from addictions, codependencies, & as enablers. We are a family of women who are determine to heal from our past and would love for others to join us and give God his Glory as we transform.

Have you ever read The Recovery Book? I would highly recommend it. I am currentky reading Beautiful Boy which is a good read.

it's been a while since i worked my cr program. can anyone recommend a good book to read to get back into the recovery mindset?

Thanks vessel4him
It is tough to be a father, tougher to be a Christian father and even tougher to be a Christian father in recovery. Kudos to all you men out there. Make yourselves heard! You HAVE something to say.

Just finished a massive upgrade to this site. You may see a few differences but not too many...yet.
The group locations is gone and we will be looking at a better way of presenting this in the future. If you see a bug or something unusual going on with the site, drop me a line on the Contact Us form. Thanks.
bullet hmullan on Saturday, April 25, 2009 - 22:56:28
We are hoping to more messages in the near future.

I would like to hear more messages...we don't have CR where I am right now...they're working on putting a group together though...
