I don't entirely agree with this sentiment. Sure, on
one had, this is how many confront their addictions
and get "cured". But on the other, it's a good way to
kill a friendship (trust is at risk, on both sides),
especially if it turns out this person has permission
for whatever reason to log time as such.

That approach is quite transparent though.

Or conduct a thorough investigation/audit on
everyone's time.
Some things are best left alone until it really
becomes an issue.
