There is an elephant in the room within the Church. For far too long it has been hidden behind shame. When the Church breaks the silence, the captives can be set free.

Ephesians 4:12 (ESV): "to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ."

Start where you are.

Whether you are fighting this yourself, healing from a spouse's addiction, or leading a church, there is a first step made for you.

From hiding to healing.

Recovery is a path, not a single moment. This is what it looks like, in the words of the people who lead these groups.

  1. Reach out

    Call a coalition leader or a counselor. Every one of them can help you find your next step.

  2. Join a group

    Most local peer-led groups are free, aside from about $60 in books.

  3. Stay the course

    With honesty, accountability calls, group meetings and homework, recovery typically takes 3 to 5 years.
