End this and all addictions end

The addiction guru(s) that I follow teach that it's not possible to be an addict without first being codependent.

The Common Denominator to all Addictions:

Drug
Alcohol
Food
Sugar
whatever...

The one thing that has to be present... and without this there CAN BE NO ADDICTION IS:

Self Pity

unconscious self pity that is.

Not your garden variety, run of the mill, "surface" self pity.

But a specific type of built in self pity.

What do I mean?

The PRESUPPOSITION of self pity, it's built into your world view, more than likely your world view, the lens through which you view the world...

the fish bowl to the fish (technically this is your paradigm)

you cant not have a paradigm, you must have what Tony Robbins calls a
Global World view, all incoming data is sorted against this, it's your parameters,

(for example a computer's hard drive is at it's core, simply intervals, however for those differences, those intervals to make sense, you have to have a starting point...
a reference point)

That world view presupposes that life dealt you shitty cards and you're somehow entitled to a special deal...

World views, Global ones, the way Tony Robbins describes them are characterized by the following type of statements:

-Life is...

-People are...

-...screw them before they screw you

-...give em an inch and they'll take a mile

these presuppositions are inherited, you didn't choose them, you just heard your parents say this crap and you just took it for granted...


REMOVE The self pity and addiction just vanishes

effortlessly
instantaneously

Fire cannot exist without two things:

Fuel
Oxygen

remove the oxygen and the fire is immediately snuffed out

remove the unconscious self pity and you've no reason to want to get high

there is no longer any will power to deal with... there is simply no more interest in getting high
