it will be taken as a curse.

11) As a dog returns to its vomit,
so fools repeat their folly.
Proverbs Club Commentary
It is a gross way to put it, but very true.
Reviving a contained addiction is pathetic and foolish.

19) Like a broken tooth or a lame foot
is reliance on the unfaithful in a time of trouble.

Others could hang you out to dry.
