You may be thinking that recovery is only for those with alcohol or drug problems. This could not be further from the truth. Saddleback Church finds that only one-third of the people attending Celebrate Recovery are dealing with chemical dependencies. As Pastor Rick Warren says, “We all have sinned, we’ve all fallen short, we’ve all been hurt, and we’ve all hurt others. Everybody needs recovery.” Most of life’s “hurts, habits and hang-ups” can be addressed through this one ministry. A hurt, habit or hang-up is anything that hinders your walk with God, including:

• Abandonment & Rejection
• Abuse – Physical, Sexual, Emotional
• Adult Children of Dysfunctional Families
• Alcohol, Drug & Chemical Dependency
• Anger & Rage
• Anxiety, Fear & Insecurity
• Co-Dependency & Unhealthy Relationships
• Controlling Personality
• Depression & Loss of Hope
• Divorce & Loss of Relationship
• Eating Disorders – Over-eating, Under-eating
• Gambling
• Grief & Sadness
• Guilt & Shame
• Obsessive-Compulsive Behavior
• Overspending & Financial Loss
• Overworking & Workaholism
• People-Pleasing
• Perfectionism
• Sexual Addiction – Adultery, Pornography, Homosexuality
