Recovery Thought of the Day:

Danger of Comparison

As many of us are isolated at home during this "Stay at Home" order from the Governor, I am sure that a lot of us are spending a lot more time on social medial.  While social media can be a great way to stay connected with others during this time, there is also several great dangers the lie within social media.  One of those dangers is the dangers of comparison.  Often times we can fall into the trap of comparing our lives to others.  It appears they have a happier family,  they appear to know more about the bible than I do, they seem to be doing better in their recovery journey than me and on  and on it goes.  The danger in this is, that it usually leads us into a pattern of negative thinking and it also distracts us from actively living out our own personal recoveries. 

Have you found yourself playing the comparison game lately?  How's that workin' for ya? If you have, I would encourage you to reach out to somebody and talk about it.  Talking about it is one of the best ways to step out of denial and get you back on a track to positive thinking.

If you would like someone to reach out to you, text us your E-mail and name to 970-645-6109 and we will have someone from within CR reach out to you.

Note: The thought of the days along with other key updates will also be posted on our facebook page (Celebrate Recovery at Crossroads Church Facebook Page) and for those without facebook, they will also be posted on the following blog site: https://crossroadscr.blogspot.com
