Hello brothers and sisters! My name is Rob Libby. I grew up in Southern Maine until at the age of 17 when I joined the Marine Corps.
While I was in the Marine Corps I got injured from a road side bomb, while deployed over seas. As a result I had several surgeries,and was put on many different opioids. Like many I didn't think I had a problem, because I was prescribed these meds by my doctors. When I first joined Celebrate Recovery I didn't think it could help me! Sound familiar? I thought like many others that CR was for drugs and alcohol. I didn't realize that it was and is much more than that. My biggest struggle was survivors guilt. I have also struggled with anger,depression, anxiety, and a host of other issues. Celebrate Recovery has helped me to realize that I am not alone, and that I don't have the power to change things on my own. I needed Christ's help. As a husband and father of 5, I don't just want better for me, I want better for my family. CR has shown us a better way of dealing with life's hurts.
CR is a great place to find and develop healthy relationships with people who will listen, who care, and will walk along side of you. I know that if it had not been for CR, my family and I would not be in ministry today. We would have never answered the call to plant a church, or start up or even be involved in the ministries that we are. God used CR to help change our lives, and now we are trying to do the same for others one person at a time.
Thank you, God Bless!
