Keep CR in place even if you don't meet sometimes, In Orlando FL we are meeting again starting April 16th, my journey involves 12 step programs I serve in, being an active Sub-c and homegroup member our CR ministry will be discussing issues like Denial, powerlessness and control. Haven't posted here in awhile, but my roots were planted in the NY CR ministry.
Hey all, hope all is well all over the world . Right now is the middle of the Corona Pandemic, we are having virtual CHURCH CR and NA meetings. If you need a meeting check on one the the CR websites or even an NA website. Here in Orlando I help manage the Orlandona.org and Orlandocr.com websites
not much action on the site lately, wanted to share a story. I graduated CR back in 1989 in NYC , been in FL last 26 years. Recently one of my rental houses was turned into a grow House, during my dealing with the cleanup I encountered much cannabis smell, plus found large bags full of it. (immediately turned into the local police or destroyed) , if not for God's power and being taught to obey (as in matt 28:20) from Cr I may have used during this situation. Thanks to the NYC CR ministry I am still standing. I have many photos of the house, hopefully my experience can helps others somehow.
Tia, my name is Dink, the Greater Baltimore Church has a CR meeting at 8am sharp every sunday morning before service. My wife Erica and her team leads around 9-13 women within there CR group. I can have my wife email you detailed information if this will help...

I am sorry to hear that Tia. Why don't you send me an email at hmullan 'at' gmail.com and I can see what we can do to help. Replace the 'at' with the @ symbol.

I'm from VA. I'm a recovering drug addict. I've tried getting into drug rehab program, but had the doors closed in my face. The church I go to has a CR program but I was having a hard time getting in touch with the couple who leads that ministry. I go to NA meetings and that's it. I feel as though I'm lost from here.
hmullan on 12 years ago

Tia on 12 years ago
Is there anyone who is able to help me?

Finally giving my last addiction to God...Sugar i.e. emotional eating, binging etc. 30 days abstinence from all junk food, packaged foods, sugar. Feel so much better! It's an addicts last resort. Don't go there. Heal your body with nutrition. Eat to live not live to eat.

Maryland is ready and willing to come up for a CR conference in 2012. What is the general thought?

R-Quimica Thanks for your question. i have passed it to a brother with contacts in LA whom he can put you in touch with. Let me know if you do not haer something in the next few days. Thanks
hmullan on 14 years ago
Hi Jeffrey, In answer to your question, yes the site is being tended to but unfornunately the person tending it has very limited time. As for the posts, we have no control over those. the hope is that as CR rebuilds throughout the churches that those attending will see the value of a site like this and will participate and contribute more. please keep CR in your prayers that God will cause it to grow throughout our fellowship and beyond. Thanks for the question and concerns.:D
R-Quimica on 14 years ago
Hi Im a brother from the central region Latinos LA I have been leading CR for 3yrs and now have needs for help on women with drug and alcohol problems. can you give me contact to brothers and sister near LA that lead CR ministrys. Thank you,
Jeffrey on 14 years ago
Why do I feel like this website is like a ghost town? Most of the posts are almost a year old! I enjoy digging through it, but there are no new changes! Why is the May issue of the Fellowship still being advertised as being "NOW" ready? Is this website being tended to? I'm sorry if I sound critical, but I know I like to see activity and changes! Please correct me if I'm wrong brothers and sisters!

Luke 5:31-32 ~Jesus
answered them, “It is not
the healthy who need a
doctor, but the sick. I
have not come to call the
righteous, but sinners to
repentance.”
A CR ministry to cater to
the sick and the sinners of
Spokane, WA sounds like a
perscription from Jesus
himself with unlimited
refills! The perscription
was written thousands of
years ago and will never
expire because the word of
God is alive and eternal!
Let the "Great Physician"
heal the hearts and minds
of those who have been
enslaved by their
addictions! Let's create a
safe place (CR-Chemical
Recovery) to spiritually
feed those in need and
let's break away the chains
of addiction!
Psalm 107:13-14 ~Then they
cried to the LORD in their
trouble, and he saved them
from their distress. He
brought them out of
darkness, the utter
darkness, and broke away
their chains.

I am Disciple from San Diego Church. Making plans to begin Concerned Others Group. Found this site today. Wow!

There is a brother in our congregation, that another brother and i are working with, to help him over come his addiction of alcohol, we meet on a Sunday afternoon for 1 1/2 hours each sitting. The brother keep going back to his addiction each week. We are at a point where we are wondering if the brother need more than a CR meeting in helping him to over come his addiction. Can one be at a point where they need to be detox if they are not responding to our CR ministry meeting?

In Loving memory of Janet Soto January 2nd 1952 - August 15th 2010
My mother passing away was a shock to me and an untimely death. I don't have the ability to pay for her funeral costs because of my limited income. An added problem is that her body is in San Antonio, TX and I live in Spokane, WA. I don't even have the means to fly out to Texas to see her one last time. I would like to give her a proper burial and service. I am in urgent need of assistance to be able to make this happen and so I am starting this memorial fundraiser for my mother. Time is of the essence because she is at the mercy of the San Antonio Medical Examiners office. I contact them everyday to let them know that I'm working out arrangements for her. I know God will bless any amount you can donate. Please follow link: http://funds.gofundme.com/hj90 Thank you!

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.

Thank you StlCoRE, I ordered the book. I will let you know how it goes...

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,
