Really? I don’t agree. If we look at their addiction to magic like any other addiction, are we saying it’s always hopeless. Can an alcoholic literally never be in the same room as a bottle without giving in? It’s self control. They have to learn that too. They have to learn that they can’t use magic to solve all their problems and then resist the urge to use it to get what they want.
I agree that an alcoholic can regain self-control and not drink, but that’s my point. They must abstain from alcohol completely to make sure they don’t ever lose control again. At AA meetings, they say that any recovered alcoholic is still an alcoholic; they cannot every drink alcohol again or else they will lose control. The problem for Regina is that she is a magicaholic. She cannot do magic, or else it will consume her. As for Rumple, he can’t not be dark, because he is the Dark One; it’s actually apart of his nature. So, he needs a cure.
