It's a Christ based addiction recovery program.

Ydoncha.......really it's a place for grownups to accept responsibility for their lives and to learn to live the life God intended them to.

First time I've ever heard of it. I've been to the website:
http://www.celebraterecovery.com
.... and found it well worth investigating, particularly given that Rick Warren is associated with the ministry. Thanks for the tip-off.

I have not.
Personally, it sounds like another way for people to scapegoat their issues. Neither God nor the Devil forces anyone to drink excessively, masturbate excessively or use drugs excessively. I beleive that if people learned how to take responsibility for their own actions and looked within themselves, they would understand why they drink/use drugs/porn, and would be able to figure out their own solutions. Im really tired of those ads on TV with a message saying "addiction is a disease! Its not your fault!" BS. It is your fault. You do not need a crutch to get through life - and replacing a crutch such as DRINKING with RELIGION is still using a crutch....
Sorry. I know that will offfend you, but it is not intended to. Just my beleifs. And yes, I used to be an alcoholic... I am no longer. I simply recognized that I was from an alcoholic family, and that this was how I learned to cope with issues. So I stopped. I dont drink anymore, except for maybe on special occassions, and I only have one or two max (cheap date!), maybe three times a year.

Your avitar is precious. I wish you blessings in your recovery I am a christian and I have been in recovery many years. IT has helped me focus and realize that I have to accept the things I cannot change and that is the first step to growth and healing

However to Celebrate in the Revovery of Money or a disease Yes that would be a great time to celebrate.

Yes it is for people who are addicted to, well, pretty much anything. I heard it helps out a bunch. My Church does it every now and again. They help people who are addicted to porn, alcohol, drugs, etc...
If you or somebody you know has problems, I definitely would tell you or them to go.
