  • Power Over Teen Drug Use (8-27-2009)

     

    TODAY’S SCRIPT:

    I talk a lot about parents giving up some control to their teenager, but there is one situation where control needs to be taken back by the parent. 

    For the family dealing with a teen who is addicted to drugs or alcohol, the parent must intervene and retake decisive control.

    An old Jewish proverb says, “Don’t meet troubles half-way.” Give it all your attention now, or it could take more than you can give later. And you’ll be powerless when they become an adult.  So take whatever measures are necessary to ensure your teenager’s safety, and do it now.

    It is up to you to create a solution, such as counseling or substance abuse treatment. And you, too, will need to surround yourself with good counsel and a group of godly friends who are willing to pray with you and encourage you.
