******* ENLIGHTENMENT *******
The reward for self-searching
is the person you find

Addiction isn't always about substances
It is any mind loop that says
"I must have that
for me to be ok"
So when these anxious thoughts arise,
one can gently note:
"These thoughts are not wisdom speaking.
This is conditioning speaking.
This is the nervous system
seeking its familiar chemistry."
Your awareness does not argue with it.
It simply sees it
and in seeing ...
the spell weakens!
Paul Erlenborn paraphrased
