Hey Duchess,

I would have no moral qualms about a binding spell in this situation. You want to help save him from himself, you want to save his family the pain of seeing him deteriorate. You want to save his children and let them know their father.

I would think that, if he's been through so much to try to help him already, that a binding spell might not be enough by itself. I'd probably start with the binding spell, then work regular spells to help with his self-confidence and self-love, with independence, with inner strength, with clarity of thought... All the things a drug addict lacks.

I personally have never done one, but I honestly think in this kind of situation, you're doing it with the purest of intent. Sorry it took so long to reply to you!
