The most loving thing to say sometimes is "no."
My addict graduated in the early 1980s. He"hangs around with other people who graduated around then, doing drugs as if they're just "experimenting" even as the years become decades and generations. Running home to mommies who need to be needed surpasses even their addict's need for narcotics.
