A quick question does your friend look like he needs help from or you has he  complained that he needs to put a stop to his ways? I'm sure the answer would be no. The crazy thing about these kinds of individuals is that they never see the necessity to stop even when they have started literally digging a hole in their finances because they're so addicted and nothing you'd tell them would make sense.

There's no where that addicted is good or tolerable because in one way or the other, it would prove harmful. I like telling myself that its only one who is dealing with addiction that can advice himself/herself or if they come and ask for it, that's when I proffer help where I can.
