Today's Scripture
"Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil." - Proverbs 3:5-7 AMP
Thoughts for Today
If you are trying to help a loved one with a life-controlling problem, you must first reach a point of accepting the reality of their situation. Only then will you feel free to turn your loved one over to God. This is a time when you are able to detach yourself from the one you love so much. You will be able to truly lean on and trust in the Lord—and stop depending on yourself to fix your struggling loved one.
Consider this …
The prodigal son's father was not an enabler. He allowed his son to be responsible for his own actions (read Luke 15:11-32). The rebellious son asked to receive an early inheritance and then squandered it all on wild living. He then had nothing—he was hired to feed pigs and found himself yearning for their food. Even at this point, no one reached out to rescue him from the consequences of his behavior (verse 16). And so … he "came to his senses" (verse 17). He finally was ready to take responsibility for his behavior. He showed humility and took positive action (verses 18-20). He returned home and confessed his sin toward his father and heaven.
This father had faith that his son would return. Although he showed compassion, there is no record of his enabling his son. He allowed the son to be responsible for his own actions. Do you love the struggling person in your life enough to let go … and lean on God?
Prayer
Father, I have tried leaning on my own understanding. I know now that I must let go of my loved one, allow him to suffer the natural consequences of his behavior, and lean on you. Help me fully trust in your way and your time. In Jesus' name …

Today's Scripture
"Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good—not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne." - Matthew 11:29-30 AMP
Thoughts for Today
Codependent people often feel guilty because they believe that they did something to cause their loved one to go out of control. They see that their efforts have not cured the person, and they think that somehow if they try harder, they can control the person with the life-controlling problem. The misbelief that we can "fix" other people leads to a painful cycle of failure and loss of self-worth.
If you are trying to assist a friend who has become codependent, help him or her understand these truths:
  • They did not cause their loved one's problem. Their loved one is responsible for the choices that have led to addiction, no matter what the circumstances may be.
  • They cannot control their loved one's behaviors. Trying to control the struggling person through manipulation, domination and guilt only leads to a greater loss of energy. They cannot fix their loved one—only God can do that.
  • They cannot cure their loved one. Encourage them to give their anxiety to the Lord. He doesn't want us to suffer through this kind of struggle. He has promised us that his burden is light.
Consider this …
Codependents need encouragement to examine their own lives. Because of their own delusions, they usually cannot see their addiction to another person. It takes friends from the outside to point out this reality to them. You can help your codependent friends by
  • Taking them to a Living Free Concerned Persons group
  • Encouraging them to focus on Christ instead of on their loved one
  • Modeling an honest relationship with respect and boundaries
  • Care-fronting delusion
  • Encouraging them to accept responsibility for their own actions
  • Praying for them
Prayer
Father, guide me in helping my friend. Help her understand that she can't fix her loved one … that your yoke is easy and your burden is light … that she can trust you with her loved one. In Jesus' name …

Survey: Almost One-Fourth of 12th Graders Have Smoked Marijuana in Past Month


Almost one-quarter of the nation’s high school seniors say they have smoked marijuana in the past month, and just over 36 percent admit to using the drug in the past year, according to the 2012 Monitoring the Future Survey. Researchers at the University of Michigan who conducted the annual survey found 6.5 percent of high school seniors smoked marijuana daily.
Among 10th graders, 3.5 percent say they use marijuana daily, while 17 percent report using the drug in the past month, and 28 percent in the past year. “We are increasingly concerned that regular or daily use of marijuana is robbing too many young people of their potential to achieve and excel in school or other aspects of life,” National Institute on Drug Abuse Director Dr. Nora D. Volkow said in a news release. “THC, a key ingredient in marijuana, alters the connectivity of the hippocampus a brain area related to learning and memory. In addition, we know from recent research that marijuana use that begins during adolescence can lower IQ and contribute to reduced cognitive abilities during adulthood.”
The survey of approximately 45,000 eighth, 10th and 12th graders found fewer students perceive marijuana as harmful, compared with previous years, Bloomberg.com reports. Researchers found 41.7 percent of eighth graders view occasional use of marijuana as dangerous, and 66.9 percent view regular use as harmful. These rates are the lowest since the survey began asking this age group about their perceptions of marijuana in 1991.
Among 12th graders, 20.6 percent view occasional marijuana use as risky, the lowest rate since 1983. Among this age group, 44.1 percent view regular use as harmful, the lowest rate since 1979.
“Yet another year of increases in childhood marijuana use is deeply disturbing as these can spell real trouble for young kids later on,” Steve President and CEO of The Partnership at Drugfree.org said in a statement. “Heavy use of marijuana – particularly beginning in adolescence – brings the risk of serious problems and our own data have shown it can lead to involvement with alcohol and other drugs as well. Kids who begin using drugs or alcohol as teenagers are more likely to struggle with substance use disorders when compared to those who start using later in life. This is of particular concern because we know that 90 percent of addictions have roots in the teenage years.”
The survey found use of other illicit drugs continued declining among high school students.

Today's Scripture
"They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen." - Romans 1:25 NLT
Thoughts for Today
When we become obsessed with controlling someone else's behavior, we have a problem called codependency. Codependents center their lives on the person they are trying to help, and as a result they exchange the truth of God for a lie, worshiping and serving a created person (the struggling loved one) rather than God the Creator.
Codependency is harmful because the person becomes mastered by a loved one's problem or becomes a loved one's master (playing God).
Generally, people are not aware that they are enabling and becoming codependent. They are trying to do the right thing, but too often they feel guilty because their efforts are not good enough to make the person they love change. Children are especially vulnerable to this distorted, guilt-ridden thinking.
Consider this …
Christians can be unusually susceptible to codependency. Sometimes when attempting to love others as Christ has commanded us, we slip into enabling behaviors that lead to codependent relationships. The issue of codependency should be approached with balance. According to the apostle Paul, the body of Christ should be interdependent (see Romans 12:7-16 and 1 Corinthians 12:12-27). We need to avoid the extremes of selfish independence and codependence.
Prayer
Father, teach me to love and help people without going to the extreme of trying to fix or control them. Help me to always put you first and trust you to guide me in loving and helping others. In Jesus' name …

Today's Scripture
"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." - 1 Peter 5:7 NIV
Thoughts for Today
Enablers work hard to shield their loved ones from the consequences of self-destructive choices. As a result, the enabler brings pain upon themselves that really belongs to their loved one.
In their well-intentioned efforts to help, enablers may
  • lie for their loved one
  • allow abusive behaviors
  • hide the truth from relatives and friends
  • defend their loved one when others point out problems
  • help them with legal difficulties
  • change the home environment to accommodate the person with the problem
  • refuse to discuss the problem with anyone
Consider this …
It is difficult to stop enabling a loved one because we don't like to admit that we have no power to change another person. As we take on responsibility—and control—of our loved one, our focus is on "fixing" them. But only God can transform lives. This is a God-size problem, not one we can fix. And we need to step back, to give our worry and anxiety to God, and to trust him.
If we don't come to the realization that we have no power to change another person, enabling will progress to a condition known as codependency. Codependents take ownership of another person's problems, get their sense of well-being from managing the behavior of the dependent person, and end up being controlled by the person they are trying to help.
Prayer
Father, forgive me for trying to take your place in my loved one's life. I realize now that I cannot change anyone's life. Only the power of Jesus can do that. I commit my loved one to you. I pray that he will turn to you for help in making right choices. In Jesus' name …

Today's Scripture
"Hot-tempered people must pay the penalty. If you rescue them once, you will have to do it again." - Proverbs 19:19 NLT
Thoughts for Today
When someone we care about is struggling with a life-controlling problem, we naturally want to help. But sometimes, even though we have the best intentions, our efforts hurt more than they help … and we end up enabling our loved one to continue in the destructive behavior.
Negative consequences naturally flow from wrong behaviors. When we intervene and prevent someone from experiencing those consequences, they have no reason to change their behavior. We enable them to continue.
Consider this …
Enabling is progressive. It begins by making small allowances for someone's irresponsible behavior and gradually progresses until our lives are dominated by trying to cure and control our loved one. A line must be drawn to avoid the progression. The first time you bail someone out, that's mercy. The second time, it is enabling.
Prayer
Father, I want so much to help my loved one. I have tried to take care of him, to "fix" things, to keep him from suffering. But I see now that continually rescuing him is just prolonging the problem and even making it worse. Help me to trust you more. Help me stand back and allow him to learn. In Jesus' name …

Children in Kentucky Pay Price for Parents’ Prescription Drug Abuse


More than 86,000 children in Kentucky are being raised by someone other than a biological parent, and prescription drug abuse is largely to blame, community leaders say.
CNN reports that while it is difficult to assess how many children are orphaned after a parent overdoses from prescription drugs, state data shows Kentucky is the fourth most medicated state in the country, and has the sixth highest rate of overdose deaths.
“Someone has to take care of these kids, and we simply do not have the facilities to do that,” said U.S. Representative Hal Rogers, whose district in Kentucky is hard hit by prescription drug abuse. “So it’s neighbors, it’s churches, other civic groups that are trying to be parents to these kids who are orphaned by drug-abusing parents. That’s a huge undertaking, because there’s literally tens of thousands of these young children.”
He started the Operation UNITE drug task force in 2003 to fight the prescription drug abuse epidemic in Kentucky. The task force has set up programs at schools across the state to help children who have lost their parents to these drugs.
The state has taken steps to combat prescription drug abuse. Earlier this year, Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear signed into law a bill requiring that all pain clinics be licensed, specifies requirements for ownership and employment, and obliges Kentucky’s licensure board to develop regulations for pain clinics. It gives law enforcement easier access to the state’s prescription drug monitoring database. Doctors must examine patients, take full medical histories, and check electronic prescription records before writing prescriptions for opioids.
Last month, Dan Smoot, Law Enforcement Director of Operation UNITE, noted that as Kentucky begins to see results from its crackdown on prescription drug abuse, officials are reporting a rise in heroin use.

    Pennsylvania Drug and Alcohol Center - Little Creek Recovery


    Mission Statement:

    Little Creek Lodge is committed to building a strong foundation and integrating internalized recovery, through therapeutic and 12 step models; with a focus on the spiritual paradigm. Our message is delivered in a clean, safe, confidential environment that addresses the needs of each client on an individual and group level, by caring compassionate, experienced professional staff.

    Philosophy:

    In this day and age the stigma connected with this disease still deters many from seeking treatment. Little Creek is built on a 12 Step philosophy in conjunction with reality-based therapies. The program is designed to engage a resident's ongoing barriers whether spiritual, mental or social. Our primary objective is to guide residents into managing daily recovery, and overcome denial of diagnosis and controlled use of substances. Learning how to ask for help can be difficult, but necessary to develop emotional coping skills strong enough to meet the daily challenges of life without drugs or alcohol. Through guidance, individual and group therapy, wilderness expeditions and daily 12-step meetings, our residents engage in a mental, physical and spiritual experience which is essential to long term recovery. Residents may enroll in local universities to enhance their experience. We seek to instill a renewed belief on self-worth and spiritual center that lies at the heart of all 12-step programs.

    Purpose:

    Our purpose is to help build a strong foundation in recovery with a focus on the spiritual paradigm shift that is the greatest mitigating factor in long-term sobriety. Through strong 12-step work, we believe that clients can turn the corner and start to see their addictions as a disease rather than a weakness. At Little Creek Lodge our target population is 18 to 25 years of age, adult males only. We have experience with the particular needs of this population as well as the specific dynamic of their lives that can make the acquisition of the foundation of recovery seemingly unattainable in common treatment milieus.

    At Little Creek Lodge we see the dilemma in a more realistic way. We know that recovery is not about being powerless, it is about empowerment; the act of finding an external/internal source of positive deed and thought and integrating into the consciousness of the client. “Surrender” is likewise a word often misconstrued and misused in the recovery environment. At Little Creek Lodge we work toward rebuilding the lives of the client to move forward and become a productive member of society.

    Seeing the Need

    Firetree, Ltd. was formed in 1991 as a non-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation designed to provide quality transitional services to individuals associated with the criminal justice system. Statistically, chemical abuse is an indirect or direct cause of criminal behavior in approximately 90 % of the prison population; however, a minimal number of offenders were receiving substance abuse treatment. Firetree, Ltd. developed the belief and the mission, that drug and alcohol treatment is essential to effect change in the criminal offender. It wasn’t long before serving those who are chemically dependent but not yet involved in the criminal justice system was recognized as yet another area of need.

    Criminal Justice

    Capitol Pavilion (Harrisburg, PA), Firetree, Ltd.’s first facility, began receiving pre-release residents in February 1992 and continues to provide an extensive education program that focuses on obtaining employment, reintegrating into the community with a concentration on life skills, and avoiding addictive behavior. Capitol Pavilion has an outstanding reputation with the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections for providing Federal and state offenders with programs and assistance to successfully reintegrate back into society. Similar programs were opened to meet the ever increasing needs of the criminal justice system: Conewago Wernersville CCC (Wernersville, PA) and Syracuse Pavilion (Syracuse, NY).

    Drug & Alcohol Treatment

    Seeing the need for a program specifically designed to address chemical abuse, Firetree, Ltd.’s clinical team began researching and developing a drug and alcohol treatment program. A license to provide inpatient drug and alcohol treatment was obtained from the Pennsylvania Department of Health and Firetree, Ltd. began the acquisition process for a facility in the Hershey, Pennsylvania area. This treatment program, which is now known as Conewago Place (Hummelstown, PA), expanded Firetree, Ltd.’s mission by providing comprehensive services to referrals from Single County Authorities, Managed Care Organizations, those who chose to pay themselves as well as the offender population. Soon, as demand grew, an additional drug and alcohol treatment facility, Conewago Wernersville, was established. A non-hospital Detoxification unit was added at Wernersville to meet the needs of those whose physical dependency required detoxification prior to inpatient treatment. Lycoming House, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was the next facility opened by Firetree, Ltd. This non-hospital drug and alcohol treatment facility provides services to halfway back clients referred by the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. Lycoming House is a replica of the drug and alcohol treatment programs offered at Conewago Place and Conewago-Wernersville.
    Noting a need for a continuum of care and additional aftercare resources, Firetree, Ltd. in 1997 entered into a joint venture with Genesis House, Inc. in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Established in May of 1985, the primary goal of Genesis House, Inc. was to provide outpatient substance abuse counseling services to both male and female adults as well as adolescents. The main focus of the substance abuse program was, and still is on acceptance and awareness of the disease process, role fulfillment, expansion and use of support services, and cognitive behavioral change to support sobriety. Since its inception, Genesis House, Inc. has expanded its services to include sexual abuse/domestic violence, HIV/AIDS wellness, men’s and women’s groups dealing with specific gender oriented issues, and intensive outpatient treatment. Genesis House, Inc. has had extensive experience working with offenders and parolees as a result of its dedicated service to the Allenwood Federal Penitentiary, the Lycoming County Pre-release Center (male parolees), the Lycoming County Transitional Living Center (female parolees), and the Pennsylvania State Parole. While Genesis House, Inc. treats all persons it has obtained an outstanding reputation in Williamsport and the surrounding area for its treatment of adolescents. Genesis House has expanded services by establishing Genesis House Harrisburg and Genesis House Bloomsburg in order to provide the same level of treatment to those area’s residents.
