1 Answer

Answer :

It’s not her job, but it is her decision. I don’t think there’s any way to know how it will turn out this early in the game. As far as I’m concerned, though, an addict isn’t going to change unless they want to change and, these days, I’m pretty convinced that many addicts have additional mental issues that need to be taken care of. This is something that I find to be sadly lacking in society.
