Until an addict experiences the consequences of his/her choices, there is no hope. When we cushion the consequences, we enable addiction. That becomes our role in the whole thing.

Getting out of the addicts way and letting the chips fall where they may, instead of trying to cushion and make it comfortable to stay stuck ,creates opportunity for the addict to consider change. Some will and some will not. We have no control over the outcome.
