One of the things I enjoy most about my job is getting to work with people in Celebrate Recovery. These are people who have what we call; hurts, habits, and hangups. It strikes me as odd that everyone on the planet has "hurts, habits, and hangups," because every being has a sin nature. Very few of us will admit our hurts, habits, and hangups that have caused us to hurt ourselves, hurt others, and also cause others to hurt us. One of the reasons I enjoy working with "those people," as they are sometimes called by those who think they don't have any issues, is because they recognize they have wounds and pain and the best way to deal with them is to face them honestly. Jeremiah 6:14, "You can't heal a wound by saying it's not there!" is a verse we quote regularly to help us face our denial.
Maybe you don't need a 12 step recovery program, but if not, you certainly need a biblically balanced program, be it a small group, a regular bible study you do with others, or somewhere you can exercise self examination and accountability to bring about the neccessary life changes God wants to make in your life.
