00:01 The following program discusses sensitive issues
00:03 related to addictive behavior. 00:05 Parents are cautioned that some material 00:06 may be too candid for younger children. 00:10 Welcome to "Celebrating Life in Recovery," 00:12 I'm Cheri your host. 00:13 And today we're gonna be talking about forgiveness. 00:15 I get to interview my husband which is really fun. 00:18 But more than that we're gonna be celebrating 00:21 our 100th episode on "Celebrating Life in Recovery." 00:24 It is gonna be a blast you got to join us. 00:55 Welcome back. We are celebrating our 100th program. 00:59 You can see the balloons and you see all of us here. 01:02 We are so grateful to be here on our eighth season. 01:05 We have--I knew when I first presented this program, 01:10 I knew that there was a need. 01:12 I knew that people needed recovery, they needed support. 01:14 We need to be-- have a voice out there saying 01:17 that God is crazy about us 01:19 and He's bigger than all our issues. 01:21 But you know what, I had no idea how successful it would be. 01:25 I had not idea that people watching would literally 01:30 step into recovery from drug addiction and sexual addiction 01:33 and from domestic violence and from all kinds of stuff. 01:36 And I want to say, our celebration is, 01:39 we're celebrating you, we're celebrating your recovery. 01:42 We're celebrating the fact 01:44 that people are watching and they're learning 01:47 and they're stepping into healthier lives. 01:49 And I just think that's awesome. That is so awesome. 01:52 I want to say hi to my friends in Australia. 01:54 I have people in Australia that have called and email. 01:59 I've flown out there and met them. 02:02 One girl in particular that was suicidal, 02:04 trying to kill herself, turned the channel 02:07 and someone on the program 02:08 was giving their testimony and it got her to say, 02:12 "You know what, if they can get 02:13 through this I can get through this." 02:15 And she stood up and decided to live. 02:18 How cool is that? I think that is so cool. 02:21 I've had people from Canada, you know. 02:23 Ashley, if you're watching. 02:25 I've had people from Canada that, 02:26 you know, they were so lost. 02:28 "I don't know where I'm at. 02:29 I don't even know with the sexual abuse in my life 02:33 and the relationship addictions in my life 02:36 and the things that I have struggled with, 02:38 I don't think I'm gonna survive." 02:40 And again, somehow 02:42 they were flipping through the channel and found us. 02:45 And so we were celebrating all of you guys. 02:47 We were celebrating all of that. 02:49 We've had people emailing and calling and fly over even 02:54 to hang out at our home and deal with some issues. 02:57 And so I just want to say, a 100 episodes, how cool? 03:02 All right, I want to let this go so I can use my hands 03:05 because I cannot do this without my hands. 03:07 And so even though we are celebrating, 03:09 we are gonna do a program today. 03:10 The program is gonna be on forgiveness. 03:14 And what's interesting about that 03:17 is we cannot step into recovery, 03:20 we cannot do any of that kind of stuff 03:21 until we start to look at what our resentments are, 03:25 what our junk is, how do we get out 03:27 from underneath all of that stuff. 03:29 And so today we're gonna cover that. 03:32 We also are going to, at the end of program 03:35 bring everybody on set that has had anything to do 03:39 with putting this program together. 03:41 So I want you to know 03:42 that when we come to the end of the program. 03:44 When we do the close like we typically do, 03:46 I'm gonna invite camera people, 03:48 I'm gonna invite the administration, 03:50 I'm gonna invite C.A., who is our producer. 03:52 I'm gonna invite everybody up 03:53 and we are really gonna close this program with a celebration. 03:57 But right now I just want to say, thank you. 04:00 Thank you. Thank you. 04:01 Thank you. And keep watching. 04:04 We're gonna break, I'm gonna come back with our guest, 04:06 our guest today is my husband and I love that. 04:10 Because, you know, when we first got married, 04:12 I thought I had all the issues and I thought 04:14 I was gonna be dealing with a lot of stuff. 04:16 But he's had his own journey and he's gonna share 04:18 some of that with you today. 04:20 He's also a musician. He plays in the philharmonic. 04:23 And I asked him for this program where we are celebrating, 04:28 if he would play something for us. 04:29 And he chooses a song, "To God Be the Glory." 04:33 I'm like how cool is that? 04:34 Because that's exactly the truth in recovery, 04:36 is I can't take any glory, 04:38 I'm not smart enough to take the next step. 04:40 But God is faithful and every step I had to take. 04:43 And so I hope you enjoy it. Brad's gonna play. 04:46 We're gonna dim the lights a little bit. 04:48 We're going to kind of set the cafe up in a way that, 04:52 we're gonna feature him, I love that. Stay with us. 07:59 Then sings my soul my savior God to Thee 08:13 How great Thou art 08:19 How great Thou art 08:23 Then sings my soul my savior God to Thee 08:39 How great Thou art 09:09 We're gonna continue celebrating our 100th program. 09:12 Stay with us, we'll be right back. |
