Reflections on Christ and Culture
Helping addicts means that we need to consider carefully the role of emotions in both addiction and recovery.
Caution is required in considering when and to what degree we ought to issue consequences for the addicted individual.
Knowing the difference between forcing and promoting allow us to actively work without attempting a control we do not have.
Truly caring for our loved one will mean not minimizing the impact of their consequences, but allowing God to use them for their good.
In order to care well for the addict we love we must learn to distinguish between our and their responsibilities.
It is of paramount importance that helpers know their limitations, know their role, and know themselves.
