Why?
The addict's body has gone into a survival mode at the altar of a drug that will eventually kill them. The addict worships the "high" and will do anything for that false god. I mean anything. They will talk about the "pain" they experience but in most cases, it won't be physical pain.
How to help?
Don't react. Don't fall into their trap. And, don't facilitate. Stay with the addict. Love their soul. Hate their actions. (Not because they are hurting you, but because they are hurting themselves.) Proverbs says to correct a fool is to make an enemy. Keep that verse close to you as you attempt to intervene.

Amazon Review:
It's a military thriller with a heart. Commander Mark Steele has an exciting job in Special Forces. Though it's dangerous, he knows his work is critically important. But that job separates him from his wife and child. When an injury brings him home, his wife is glad to have him back. But other issues cause struggles within the family, leading to distrust and hurt. Steele takes dangerous risks in his new work. The thriller plot thickens, as he seeks to save a life. But can he save his family?
