addict

This video is funny, but I'm not posting it because I take the topic of addiction lightly. Rather, I am showing it here because it illustrates how an addict's support system works.  Few people are brave and selfless enough to do the unpleasant work of speaking truth into the addicts life. It's hard work. And the pay-off sucks. But it is these people, ... while they don't actually purchase the substance that is wrecking the user, ... they do support the destruction in other ways. In fact, the addiction would cease, ... would change, ... would halt, ... should the support system decide to stop lying and start telling the truth.  But this is hard, hard work.  Not a good job.
