On this 59th day of the Season for NonViolence, we turn our attention to the idea of INTERVENTION.  Perhaps you know someone who is in the throes of an addiction and either does not think they are addicted, or could use some support in getting help.

 

“If you are headed in the wrong direction, God allows U-turns.”

–Unknown

Today, many resources are available online, for all kinds of addictions.  You don’t have to solve someone’s addiction issues yourself.  But you can share a weblink, a flier, or a book with them.  If you share that addiction but have mainly beaten it, why not invite this acquaintance to your AA meeting or other support group?  Is it time for you to take steps to make a difference for this person?

Here is AGNT’s contemplation for this day:

DAY 59 Mar. 29: The thought for today is INTERVENTION.  Alcohol and drug abuse is both a consequence of, and a cause of, violence.  You can make a difference in someone’s life through intervention.

 Today:  I will have the courage to intervene in a caring way with someone who is using alcohol or drugs.  Through my honest, straightforward, and nonviolent communication, I will encourage them to get educated, get help, get sober and free from substances.
