Perhaps you're familiar with the process known as intervention. Frequently used for cases of abuse of alcohol and drugs as well as for addictions to unhealthy behaviors, intervention is a valuable tool for helping the person who has destructive behavior see the patterns of his life and their effect on those around him. While an individual will deny the problem and resist assistance from friends and family who attempt to aid him one by one on one, the intervention brings the entire circle of key relationships abruptly into the addicts presence, often using the element of surprise. Surrounded by those who know him or her best, the person is forced to look at his or her addictive or compulsive behaviour and examine his or her life, perhaps facing the truth of it for the first time. As each person shares what he or she feels about the deterioration of his or her relationships, it becomes impossible for him or her to deny the problem. Here are the people who love her the most, all sharing similar observations, concerns and solutions for the problem that has taken over his or her life.
Interventions can be extremely effectively in helping addicts accept help. When conducted in a spirit of love and encouragement, the intervention can save the life of the addict and reawaken him or her to a world filled with opportunities for health and wellness. It is simply how love can win out over obsessions, addictions and adversities. Love can be a tremendous deterrent to destructive behavior; it gives the individual the support he or she needs to change their lives. Though The Bible says that love is as strong as death, it is stronger than debt, divorce, depression or any obstacle.
Proverbs 27:6- Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses
