I think you should write the letter for you. I think that it helps to get it off of your chest but I am not sure what if any effect it will have on an active addict. Maybe someone on here has done the same and has a different take on it.
Intervention letters are far more common on TV interventions than in real life.
Convincing the friends/family to stop enabling is often far more of a challenge to an intervention, than the addict.
All families are dysfunctional. Maturity is all about leaving the baggage behind and taking responsibility for our own choices and outcomes.
