Needing the Enemy

I did something today that I didn't think I would do nor that I wanted to do but did it as a last resort to help a loved one. I don't understand addiction but have witnessed it with several individuals so I know there is something to it. I personally believe addiction can be solved or changed by shifting your mind set . I will stop doing X and put in the effort to stop doing X. The key is to want to make that change. If you don't want it, it cant happen. As a wiccan we believe when doing spell work one needs to have intent. You need the intent to make things happen followed up with working to achieve the goals you set out to achieve.
Its difficult to sit and watch someone not want to change when addiction has taken over their lives; to watch them hang on to influences that hinder their recovery and alienate themselves from almost everything they had in their life. You need to ask yourself how far are you willing to go to save said person. Like I said I went beyond what I really wanted to do but felt it necessary.
The control a person can have over another is both sickening and sad.  How that control is gained is equally if not more disgusting. IMO people that do these sorts of things should be quarter-horsed.  (and no i don't feel bad saying that). However, knowing that control is there can possibly work to change a bad situation that was fueled by the controlling techniques. Yes, I decided I would reach out to this individual as a last resort. If this individual helps  is another story. Either way it doesn't hurt to ask especially to save a loved one.
