However, my point is that tip toeing around the issue because you have sympathy for his condition being a disease is the wrong reason to not pursue your claims. Addiction is not that kind of disease and holding their feet to the fire does not make you a bad person. In fact, the opposite is true as it can force the addict to think. I'm not claiming that you should pursue him for his benefit, I'm saying that it's not to his benefit to not pursue him.
