Not even sure I could make a suggestion regarding addiction!

Wisdom doesn't help if the addict is till an addict. It's a horrid way to run one's life, though having said that, you, Carole, are one of the finest examples of people saying goodbye to addiction.

I wish you could be asked for help. Sometimes straight from the horse's mouth is perfect.

I'll cross my fingers that someone needing help, reads this, and contacts you.
