To walk with an addict is both a gift and a grief. In Crossroads: A Step-by-Step Guide Away from Addiction - Facilitator's Guide, Edward T. Welch walks leaders through the process of loving, connecting with, and speaking truth to a group of addicts. The guide offers observations about the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual conditions commonly associated with addiction and provides practical instruction for leading a structured, compassionate recovery group.
Welch presents addiction as a form of voluntary slavery and emphasizes that, although change is difficult, change is possible. The material is organized around a ten-step framework that helps participants recognize patterns of addiction, confess double-mindedness, know their story, go public, understand God, follow Jesus, make a plan, love others, respond well to failure, and move toward restoration. The facilitator's guide supplies discussion prompts, group-starting guidance, and suggestions for prayer, confession, accountability, and practical follow-through.
