Terribly addictive things: drinking, video games, social networking, and online forms.
Is it ethical to prod your alcoholic drinking buddy because he's fun to be around? Maybe the one not wanting to be alone has a problem too and just can't see it.
When somebody admits they found a negative influence in their life, congratulate them, acknowledge you'll miss them, then let them move on.
