CRCR - Celebrate Recovery Crisis Response

Celebrate Recovery Crisis Response (CRCR) is an online Open Share group, we believe this can be a temporary solution to still be able to connect. As soon as we get through this pandemic, we will go back to face-to-face meetings only.

Here’s what they look like. 

The online group is gender and issues specific. It is led by a trained leader from Saddleback’s Celebrate Recovery. All members are committed to being alone in the room they are in.

The CRCR guidelines must be used every time. The leader is subject to remove anyone who is not following the guidelines.

The CRCR guidelines are:

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

  2. There is NO cross talk please. Cross talk is when two people engage in a dialogue during the meeting. Each person sharing is free to express feelings without interruptions. This also includes digital chatting.

  3. We are here to support one another. We will not attempt to “fix” one another.

  4. Anonymity and Confidentiality are basic requirements. What is shared in the group stays in the group. The only exception is when someone threatens to injure themselves or others.

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

  6. All members must use headphones. This will ensure that no one else can overhear what is shared in the group.

  7. All members must be on camera. If the group leader asked, they must show the rest of the group that no one else is in the room.

  8. The meetings will not be recorded.

Saddleback Lake Forest CRCR groups are for Saddleback members.

If you would like more information on joining one of these groups, please email us at SaddlebackCRCR@saddleback.com

Celebrate Recovery will resume regular meetings when the current COVID-19 quarantine is lifted

What Is Celebrate Recovery?

Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to address destructive or compulsive behaviors, unhealthy relationships, addictions (drugs, alcohol, food, pornography), anger, shame, codependency (addiction to people and control), past abuse and so much more. People can find freedom from any hurt, hang-up or habit that is making their life unmanageable.

What Happens At Celebrate Recovery?

There are 3 main components that make up the Celebrate Recovery program:

LARGE GROUP – This is where everyone meets together to hear either a recovery centered Teaching or a personal Testimony of a changed life. We consider this a “shoulder to shoulder” experience.

OPEN SHARE – This is the time we break into separate gender and issue specific groups where each person is safe to share their struggles and victories with others who share their similar hurts, hang-ups and habits. We consider this a “face to face” experience.Click here for current Open Share Groups

STEP STUDY – It has been said that “you go to a meeting to feel better, but you work the steps to get better”. Step Studies are a safe place to work through the Jesus-centered 12 Steps in a gender specific group. They are a minimum one-year commitment and meet on different nights of the week. It's a place where the “why” behind addictions and behavior can finally be uncovered and freedom can be found. We consider this a “heart to heart” experience.

There are also Celebrate Recovery meetings at the following Saddleback campuses: Anaheim, Corona, Newport Mesa, Laguna Woods, Rancho Capistrano, San Clemente.
