Stuck in Addiction

In My Father’s Kitchen

Today’s Meatball Sandwiches lead us to assist a Friend that was stuck and in need. While doing Street Outreach we came across a friend who was in a bad spot not knowing that his personal physical safety was in jeopardy. Addiction is Real outdoors and there are times that after using that  you are not aware of your surroundings. This was that instance, our friend was in the middle of a Dunkin Donuts driveway nodding out from Heroine an clueless that he was there. We quickly pulled in Kevin jumped out to talk with him gave him a lunch and asked if we could get him somewhere safe. He refused any assistance anywhere received the lunch with appreciation and said he was OK. The hardest part of what we do is seeing someone in their full blown brokenness knowing they are vulnerable and then hearing them say they are OK, knowing that they are not! The struggle for our friends is real and the challenge to help can become frustrating. We realize that you cant force someone to change but by loving our fiends consistently over time establishes trust were we believe when their surrender moment happens they will reach out to us. The scary part about leaving a situation like today is knowing there might not be a tomorrow with serious addictions. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers and thank you so much for your Support.
