Holding an intervention

Do you know someone who needs help with drug or drink addiction? In the program people often refer to 12 stepping someone they meet by exposing them to the precepts of AA. But sometimes, an intervention on a family member is needed. You've seen the show Intervention. I love it. Watching people accept help (and they almost always do) from their loved ones is a comforting thing.


“Interventions aren’t typically like the ones you see on television, with camera crews and the ‘made-for-TV’ drama. They are generally calm, yet emotional, affairs with the individual ultimately accepting the help that is being offered.”

Now, there's even a guide to doing an intervention.

I'm not recommending doing interventions, I just think it's a good thing to know about.
