[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 701676, member: 20267"] A non-addict trying to understand the mind of an addict is a lot like a sane person trying to comprehend a delusional mindset. You can read about it all you want, but you can never really feel it. You cannot fix him. Nobody can fix him if he doesn't want to be fixed. He is in a hell, but one of his own design. And he knows it. For whatever reasons, he isn't ready right now. Best you can do for him is not to enable him in any way, and allow him to plummet. The sooner he hits bottom, the better. Be there for him when he is ready to make some positive changes, but don't give the impression that him doing all the wrong things is just hunky dory. [/QUOTE]
