“Breaking the Chains”
“After spending many years in a vicious cycle of drug addiction, domestic violence and self harm, which I thought I could never be free from, I was introduced to Celebrate Recovery and my life was changed forever!! I turned my life over to the Lord and began the most amazing process of healing and forgiveness, to myself and others. Through Celebrate Recovery and Jesus Christ I have been set free! I am being led into a life of ministry to share my journey with others and encourage people that there is a way out of those vicious cycles. The chains of my past have been broken and yours can be too! I am a grateful believer in Jesus Christ who celebrates recovery over drug addiction, domestic violence and I struggle with codependency and anxiety. My name is Christina. Thanks for letting me share how the amazing power of Jesus Christ and Celebrate Recovery saved a wretch like me!!
