any addiction is a shield and hides what is the true cause of the proble ... it is never the answer it only(in my opinion) hides the problem for a short while. i feel sorry for people with an addiction and its right that unless the person seeks and wants to accept help that they can be helped... even then its a long hard jurney they are on and also everyone involved must be prepared for backward as well as forward before any 'cure' (wrongword i know but cannt think of the right 1 at the mo) is reached
