Recovery Group Guidelines

Moving Forward Open Share Groups CAN:

Provide a safe place to share your experiences, strengths and hopes with others that are going through Christ-centered recovery.

Provide you with a leader who has gone through a similar hurt, hand-up or habit who will facilitate the group as it focuses on a particular step each week.

Provide you with the opportunity to find an accountability partner or a sponsor.

Moving Forward Open Share Groups WILL NOT:

Attempt to offer any professional clinical advice. Our facilitators are not counselors.

At your request, we can provide you with a list of approved counseling referrals.

Allow its members to attempt to fix one another.

Recovery Group Guidelines:

Keep your sharing focused on your own thoughts and please keep your sharing limited to 3-5 minutes.

There will be no cross talk please. Cross talk is when two individuals engage in a conversation and exclude other.

Each person is free to express feelings without interruption.

We are support for one another and will not attempt to "fix" one another.

Anonymity and confidentiality are basic requirements. What is shared in the group, stays in the group!

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