Get off your high horse, especially if you think you have ANY business at all trying to intervene with ANYTHING other than love when it comes to a person struggling with alcoholism, addiction, homosexuality, or any other sin.
It is presumptuous of you to think you have ANY role at all, except to do the two main jobs God gave you: to love Him with all your heart and soul, and to love others as you love yourself.
I thought my alcoholism was a curse. I see now that it is one of my best and biggest blessings. God used it to help me find Him. If you have a hard time accepting the truth of the bible, that God places different burdens on different people because He knows that the ONLY way they'll be able to handle those burdens is through Him ... that's your problem.
Sorry, you need to come down off a high horse yourself. Before these, comes acceptance of the loving help God furnishes. And it will embarrass your pride when you do. If you do.

Well FRiend, it sounds as if you belong to the first group I mentioned:
"The world is full of people who have had the will power and strength to overcome their weaknesses or harmful passions and build successful, productive, rewarding lives."
