ANON (Those Who Love Dysfunctional People)
Ten Things Someone Might Need From You
I felt lost, and I desperately wanted God to show up. Instead, people appeared and gradually helped me toward the light. Only later did I realize that was how God shows up.
How can you help someone who needs you?
I've been working on a presentation for folks who are working in difficult areas of ministries. Since I'm a wheelchair user, I'm supposed to offer a seated perspective of things people have done that have been helpful and some that haven't.
Here's my list so far. Hopefully you'll help me with something I've missed.
Help for Friends & Family of Alcoholics
It can be hard having a loved one who is an alcoholic. Those
who do often struggle with these issues:
- Worrying about how much someone drinks
We Are Adult Survivors of Child Abuse
1. We grew up feeling very isolated and vulnerable, a feeling that continues into our adult lives.

For the Alcoholic, the Addict and their Families
This is a poem written by Richard who is in prison:
Can I have a moment of silence for the addict that will die tonight
for the alcoholic who day after day is losing the fight
for babies born to our disease that will fight all of their life
not knowing recovery's possible and that they have the right
to belong with us in our fellowship yes part of our alliance
where we come to seek comfort happiness not to mention guidance
from one another here everyone is living in reliance
in our community we have a voice where others demand silence
Christ-Centered Intervention
By Glen Kerby
Steps to an intervention from a Christian perspective:
1) We get everyone that is involved in this person's life to agree to meet for prayer in this matter. We need to remember that if it is that person's time then God is working in his or her life as we prepare to meet them.
2) We get the family to agree to the two choices and the only two choices that this person has to pick from.
3) We do an intervention plan, we pick a safe place for everyone to gather.
