Are you—or someone you love—struggling with alcohol or drug abuse, gambling, pornography, overeating, or another form of addiction? Or, perhaps you are looking for an intentionally Christian program to strengthen your recovery.
Confessional Lutheran Recovery (CLR) meetings provide a safe, welcoming, and confidential place to gather for “mutual conversation and consolation” among like-minded Christians who understand your struggles.
At CLR, God’s Word and the Lutheran Confessions shape how we understand addiction and recovery. This approach draws especially on the work of LCMS seminary professor Rev. Dr. Charles Knippel, who wisely reframed the traditional Twelve Steps into a distinctly Lutheran Christian understanding.
You no longer need to feel powerless over addiction. With Christ, there is forgiveness, strength, and hope.

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” (Hebrews 10:23-25)
