I just meant in a vague description... an addict is an addict. take away one addiction and they will find another. I dont know the story, just wanted to tell you my experience with it. I used to get the whole "its not hurting you soo why do you care" bit... in fact it does hurt everyone. Rationalization, denial, diversion, simplification, justification, blame... they are all toxic and seem to be the trend for people who need help outside of themselves. Until someone can come to the realization that they can not fix their own problems, things will never change. They have to realize that the other person is not the problem. In fact, they are usually the ones who create these problems for themselves. Whether its gambling or drugs, people look for something outside themselves to feel good.
