You notice that every time you speak with David about alcoholism and addiction, that he becomes defensive. You may want to try:

Avoiding the subject all-together
Using different language, i.e. using, habit, etc.
Offer to attend an AA meeting with him
Develop a way for him to tell you what words irritate him

Explanation

Answer - B - Clients react differently to different words. It could be that the word you are using has a negative stigma attached or that the person is uncomfortable identifying as someone with an addiction issue. AA may not be appropriate, since that would be pushing the issue.
