Same Sex Attraction
Individual
Groups For Women and Men
Same sex attraction is an intense interest in others of the
same gender. This interest includes desires for deep friendship as well
as intimacy at the sexual level. It may also include erotic thoughts and
feelings about someone of the same gender without actually acting out
sexually.
Same sex attractions develop over time and can
often be traced to unmet emotional and social needs. Inner attractions
for the same sex can become intense and compelling thoughts can become
frequent. These thoughts can grow into obsessions and interfere with
one’s ability to function at work and at home. If unresolved these
obsessions and thoughts can leave the same sex person with feelings of
emptiness, loneliness and frustration. These people need outside help to
solve this problem.
The kind of help required is spiritual and is
offered by Celebrate Recovery. It starts with turning one’s life and
will over to the care and control of Jesus Christ. The same sex person
acknowledges they have a problem, and they have not been able to put it
under control. They recognize that Jesus Christ is their loving Higher
Power, and He will provide all the resources needed to overcome their
issues.
The person struggling with same sex attraction follows up by attending weekly
Celebrate Recovery meetings. In these meetings they learn how to
identify the underlying causes of their issues. They also learn how to
appropriate God’s power in eliminating them. They learn how to forgive
those who have hurt them and to make amends to all the people they have
hurt. They learn how to change their focus from themselves to
others. The result is lasting freedom and permanent victory.
Over the years many people have gone through the Celebrate
Recovery program with incredible results. Celebrate Recovery has a
success rate much higher than conventional recovery programs. Why not
give it a try?
