Navigating Toxic Relationships and Boundaries While in Recovery πŸ‘‰ Recovery's a journey, not a destination. As you heal, your circle might shift. We will lose "friends"...we need to surround ourselves with like minded people when we chose ourself over "friends". That is where Stoicism thinking steps in. Stoicism teaches awareness, not bitterness. Let's break it down πŸ‘‰ 1. They use people, then lose interest... Spotting users: Do they only reach out when they need something? Do they respect your boundaries? Stoicism's got us: focus on what you can control – your reactions. 2. Accountability's a no-go... People who avoid owning mistakes often shift blame. Observe patterns, don't internalize. 3. Gossip's a red flag... Gossip has no place in recovery! If they talk about others, they'll talk about you. Protect your peace. 4. Power dynamics shift, behavior changes... Watch for those who change masks to fit in or disrespect those below them. 5. Hard times reveal true loyalty... Who's with you in the trenches? Not those who disappear when things get tough. 6. Resentment when you rise... Loyal people lift you up. Others might downplay your progress. 7. Boundaries are made to be tested... Disloyal people test limits. Stoicism teaches: respect boundaries, protect your peace. Not everyone deserves a spot in your inner circle, especially when you're trying to recover and they're bringing you down. Awareness is power. Take back your power that is lost in addiction! #keepcomingback #celebraterecovery #FruitsoftheSpirit #letsgo #recoveryworks

Principal 2: #celebraterecovery #LargeGroup We came to believe... It's not just about wishing for change, it's about confident expectation rooted in God's character and promises. We're talking about a hope that's not based on feelings, but on faith. As it says in Philippians 2:13, "For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose." 😝We often get stuck thinking we're powerless....but, hope steps in and says, "God's power is greater." It's about believing God exists, we matter to Him, and πŸ‘‰He has the power to help us recover. Hebrews 11:6 says, "Anyone who comes to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." It's not about checkingβœ“ boxes or following a religion; it's about a personal relationship with Jesus. He's not just a one-time decision; He's hands-on, day-to-day, and moment-to-moment. 2 Corinthians 12:9 says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." We don't need a mountain of faith; a mustard seed will do. Matthew 17:20 says, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." 1) We can tap into God's power and expect change. 2) He's searching for you, no matter how many times you've fallen. 3) His hands of mercy are reaching out to pick you up. πŸ™ #MustardSeed #Faith #MovingMoutains #relationships #healing #LoveAndGrace Share with usβœοΈπŸ‘‡ What's one thing you're holding onto that needs God's power to change? #recoveryworks πŸ‘€

God > Our struggles πŸ™ This morning #joycemeyer reminded me πŸ‘‰ "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us," Ephesians 3:20 In #CelebrateRecovery, participants work through 8 principles to find healing and restoration. Ephesians 3:20 can be a powerful verse for folks like us in recovery because it highlights God's immense power working within us. We're often stuck in cycles of addiction or pain, but God's power can break those chains. God is beyond our imagination! Recovery can feel impossible, but God can do more than we ask or imagine. The Holy Spirit empowers us to walk through recovery and live freely. God's power is at work within us! In recovery, we often feel powerless, but Ephesians 3:20 reminds us God's got way more power than our struggles. He can do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine. In Recovery Programs like Celebrate Recovery or AA, or Never Alone Recovery , NA, Al-Anon , GA, OA, or National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) like me, we can tap into that power! Let God work within you to heal, restore, and empower your journey. #GodWorks #HolySpirit #healingpower #recoveryworks #safeplace #celebrate #surrendering #Amen
