These guidelines will be used and read at every Celebrate Recovery group meeting. We thank you in advance for taking them seriously.

1. Keep your sharing focused on your own thoughts, feelings and actions.
Limit your sharing to 3-5 minutes.

2. There is NO cross talk. Cross talk is when two people engage in a dialogue during the meeting. Each person is free to express feelings with out interruptions.

3. We are here to support one another, not “fix”. This keeps us focused on our own issues.

4. Anonymity and Confidentiality are basic requirements. What’s shared in the group stays in the group.

5. Offensive language has no place in a Christ-centered recovery group.

6. We avoid graphic descriptions. If anyone feels uncomfortable with how specific a speaker is being regarding his/her behaviors then you may indicate so by simply raising your hand. The speaker will then respect your boundaries by being less specific in his/her descriptions.
