Life Line Connection of Manning, South Carolina

---------------------------------

Life Line can accomplish the following...

1. BEGIN MINISTRY TO THOSE WHO ARE INCARCERATED/UNABLE TO FUNCTION RESPONSIBLY BECAUSE OF THEIR ADDICTION, referring and assisting them to go on to a long-term residential program, as alternate sentencing or choice of will. (Daily preoccupation; Using or practicing just to feel normal.)

2. PROVIDE RELEVANT MINISTRY TO THOSE THAT ARE REASONABLY FUNCTIONAL IN SPITE OF THEIR ADDICTION. This allows the client to be responsible for daily necessities. The client needs to make a commitment to receive help and hope through the support groups and caring relationships with Life Line staff. (Experimentations; Social use.)

3. PROVIDE EFFECTIVE MINISTRY TO FAMILIES of those with life-controlling issues, offering encouragement and boundaries and allowing families to work through issues together, as a family.

4. PROVIDE EFFECTIVE FOLLOW-UP to those clients that have completed long-term recovery programs, providing continued positive peer choice, accountability, boundaries, and consistency.

The FIVE Components of Recovery

DECISION - I make the decision to get serious about recovery! See Joshua 24:15

POSITIVE PEER CHOICE - I will surround myself with people who are serious about my life-change and who will encourage me. See Psalm 1:1

ACCOUNTABILITY - I will hold myself accountable for my actions and decisions based on my Life-plan. I will make myself accountable to others who can help me evaluate my progress and help me to be responsible for personal inventory. See Romans 14:12

BOUNDARIES - I will learn the word "NO" and understand that there are people I must not see and places where I must not go. See Jeremiah 5:22

CONSISTENCY - I understand that it's not how I start my Life-plan that matters, but how consitent I am in the implementation! I realize that recovery and discipleship are for a lifetime. See Matthew 24:13
