When jokingly expressing to a friend that he should have intervened in a family situation, I came up with this gem. I was cracking up when I the thought of it popped in my head.
DANGERS OF AN ILL PREPARED/THOUGHT-OUT INTERVENTION
With enough people you can take a horse to water
And attempt to force it to drink
What you will likely end up with is a drowned horse
And a jail sentence for cruelty to animals
--------
In other words, sometimes if the person isn't open to it at all, the intervention could actually backfire. Secondarily, it can be dangerous to
'swim in the pool' with an addict to reach them as it could drag you down with them.
The irony of this post didn't initially come to me. But, there is one addiction, in which you don't want the proverbial horse to drink. Namely, alcoholism. In that case, you don't necessary want to take the horse to water. You might want to take him or her to detox instead. :o)
