Let’s end brokenness from addiction.
Practical Resources for Lasting Freedom
Recovery continues beyond the retreat. To support lasting freedom from addiction, CTBR provides practical, step-based resources that help individuals and families live recovery daily.
These resources include step study materials, teaching guides, small group and family-focused curriculum, online training sessions, and reflections rooted in lived recovery. Each resource reinforces daily practice, helping recovery become a way of life rather than a one-time event.
Programs
Through the proven Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, Came to Believe Recovery empowers individuals and families to find lasting freedom from addiction. We believe, from our years with Clarence Snyder, that “the family got sick together and recovers together.” Our programs address addiction not as an isolated struggle, but as a condition that affects relationships, families, and communities.
We provide transformational retreats, practical resources, and strategic partnerships that share our experience, strength, and hope—supporting recovery that endures well beyond a single experience.
Transformational Retreats
Our transformational retreats offer immersive environments where the Twelve Steps are taught and experienced as a lived, spiritual way of life. These retreats guide participants through honest self-examination, healing conversations, and shared practices that support lasting freedom from addiction.
Led by facilitators and volunteers who live this program themselves, retreats foster trust, accountability, and renewal. Families gain understanding, shared language, and tools that support reconciliation and long-term healing—together.
Strategic Partnerships
CTBR partners with organizations serving all those impacted by addiction, with a primary focus on long-term, mission-aligned, and immersive collaboration.
A cornerstone of this work is our partnership with The Salvation Army, where CTBR supports Adult Rehabilitation Centers (ARCs) through a comprehensive, step-based recovery framework. This partnership, now offered to like-minded organizations includes:
Through these partnerships, CTBR helps ignite recovery and embed principles for living to support long-term sobriety.
Podcast & Media Outreach
CTBR’s podcast and media initiatives extend recovery beyond physical spaces. Through personal stories, Twelve Step teaching, and conversations grounded in lived experience, our weekly podcast with Take 12 Radio shares our experience, strength, and hope of how we (and our guests) Came to Believe Recovery.
Ongoing Community Support
Lasting freedom from addiction is strengthened in community. Indeed, community is key to sobriety. The legacy and impact of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings support this key understanding of community. In his widely watched 2015 TED Talk by Johann Hari makes this assessment: "The opposite of addiction is not sobriety, it's connection.”
CTBR supports continued connection through Steps-based groups, online gatherings, volunteer-led teaching teams, and ongoing engagement following retreats. These communities provide encouragement, accountability, and shared growth—helping individuals and families remain rooted in recovery over time.
A Path Toward Lasting Freedom
Whether you are seeking recovery for yourself, supporting a loved one, or serving others through a partner organization, CTBR’s programs are designed to support lasting freedom from addiction—for individuals, families, and the communities they belong to.
Through the proven Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, we remain committed to sharing experience, strength, and hope—until addiction no longer defines the lives it touches.
