You never know if someone will get it or not. Think of the people who die from drug overdoses. All you can do is live your life and protect yourself, your children, and your assets.
That is so true. My sister almost died from liver failure due to her drinking several years ago. She recovered but did not learn from the experience. She has been homeless, beaten by men, and still has never hit bottom. She is still an alcoholic, and I believe she will never quit drinking.
I cannot imagine my H ever stopping his computer addiction. It has been a problem for 20+ years. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up dying in front of the computer like the man in this story: S Korean dies after games session
I have an aunt who gambles and she has lost everything she has. She lost my grandmother's home, all her savings, and her job. She still gambles and no one can stop her.
What I am doing to protect my children is to set limits on their activities to balance their lives. When they are at their father's apartment they play excessive amounts of computer and video games, so I severely limit it when they are here.
