Wouldn't that apply with any destructive behavior? Addiction presents a different issue but abuse (mental,physical,verbal), infidelity, financial irresponsiblity, poor parenting, all would require the behavior to be addressed as well regardless of the self improvment required.
Well, not according to the text no... That's my point... That there are different levels of severity in waywardness and the text handles them with different approaches...
The milder waywardness involves the "work on you" business that is often discussed here...
Once someone files for divorce or separation kick in, or then you are in Last Resort Technique...
And if there's addictions or obsessions plaguing the home this is an even more severe case and for this the text points out that the addict needs to be addressed directly in order to motivate some changes.
This is just how the text lays this out... Not saying I don't agree with you...
