I went to Celebrate Recovery for a few months at least, maybe it was a year, I don't know. But I really enjoyed it. For the first half everyone would be in the same room and we would listen to one of the members tell their story and then we would sing songs. I loved that part and I miss it. Then we would go into separate rooms, men on one side of the hall, women on the other. Young people in one room, abused older people in another, then addicts in another room. Maybe, if the group you are in is too much, you could go into another room? I stopped going to CR, because for one I wanted to remain anorexic, two I wanted to do drugs, drink, and smoke, and three (for the same reason I quit therapy so many times), I didn't want to talk about my past. Then I wanted to go back and they had changed the day and time to when my mom was working, so we couldn't go. I always enjoyed group therapy, I liked the socializing and I liked knowing that I wasn't alone, that I wasn't the only one who went through these kind of things. If you don't like the group therapy kind of thing, then CR isn't for you. But, for me I would love to get the chance to go again, and I would reccomend you trying to stay with it. Maybe next time it will go better?
