Addiction is craving fulfillment from something that cannot provide fulfillment. In this sense it is not different than the basic mechanism of ignorance that keeps everyone in bondage. With substance addiction the mind/body sets up a vicious cycle that perpetuates the dependence.
Deepak ChopraThe voice of inner truth says, 'I embrace the unknown because it allows me to see new aspects of myself'.
