Great idea! lordy let's hope it works :)

I bet it won't.

The description of the problem sounds more like the transactional game "Why Don't You... Yes But" than any addiction. The purpose of the game is for the Victim to get attention and to feel better (in a childish sense, "See, you're just as inadequate as I am") about leaving the water on when all the Rescuers who try to help fail too (none of their suggestions work because V won't let them).


Leaving the water on once in a great while is normal. We've all done it. Leaving it on chronically is just a game. The only "cure" is for V to confront his own feelings to determine why he needs such a childish ploy to get attention.
