So last night I went to Celebrate Recovery at Wellspring. CR is for folks working through 'hurts, habits, and hang-ups.'

Last night, as every Friday night of the month, was Anniversary Night. Those who have put together a measure of sobriety are celebrated for their recovery.

As usual, last night was awesome.

About 20 people got their chip for being there for the first time! Big steps for 20 folks. The house nearly came down with all the cheering!

I am particularly proud of three friends who celebrated major anniversaries last night. I can't tell you their names--it is OK to tell folks you go to Celebrate Recovery; not OK to tell others who you see there. But I am really happy for two friends who clebrated 16 years of sobriety this month--and another who has racked up 20 years!

Way to go guys!!!

And these friends aren't white knuckle sober. They are healthy, happy, productive members of society and fruitful followers of Jesus. They bless many every day.

They bless me.

Awesome.
