When the Celebrate Recovery Encourager Coach Needs Encouragement

We all have times of difficulty. Ordinary times of difficulty are not what I want to address today, but instead to look at those difficult seasons or life events that can be overwhelming and possibly bring relapse, feelings of defeat and hopelessness, or even depression. These times are not as easily dismissed or dealt with as everyday struggles of life. What does the Encourager Coach or any other person in recovery do during these difficult times?

Who is your support team? Who can you call on? Who will hold you accountable so that you do not relapse? Are you sharing your struggles or isolating? Are you processing your situation or in denial? Are you grieving those things that need to be grieved?

I recently entered a difficult season. It is not over, I am in the middle of it. Without my support team to walk me through, I would be overwhelmed. I might even be depressed. As I am walking through, I am sharing, I am talking about my situation on a regular basis. I am also praying and seeking guidance from my Heavenly Father and asking His perspective.

If you are also in a painful season, be encouraged. You are not alone! Talk about it, don't be in denial! One of my favorite sayings of all time is "This too shall pass!" There is an end to every season and another side to every problem.

Oh, and don't forget to count your blessings!!

I want to send a grateful thanks to all of the wise individuals who have spoken into my life in recent weeks! Thanks!
