Oh good grief, why not use the same argument for heroine addicts? If someone you love is involved in something that is ruinous for them, you help them out.
But you can't make them stop choosing to take the next hit.
All you can do is try to persuade them to stop.
Sometimes defining boundaries of what you'll tolerate is part of that, as I've described elsewhere in the thread.
That's about knowing what you will do and when, then communicating it to the others in the situation. It's not about controlling what they choose to do.
