It's as if an older brother that survived a serious addiction problem sat back and said to his younger sibling 'it's just something you need to experience for yourself'. Totally misguided.
To extend your simile, addiction is something that can only be overcome by the desire and determination of the addict to live clean and sober.
I don't think it's possible for any outside power to step into the ME and knock heads together. There are too many grievances, both real and imagined, to do so, sadly.
