To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have.

Once again, when you upgrade sensations from an addiction to a preference, you can enjoy things such as gourmet food and music, without having your happiness depend on them.

How soon will you realize that the only thing you don't have is the direct experience that there's nothing you need that you don't have?

It is only your mental habits and your selected memories of how you think things are that keep you from moulding things in your life in a more harmonious way.

Happiness happens when your consciousness is not dominated by addictions and demands - and you experience life as a parade of preferences.

I have everything I need to enjoy my here and now - unless I am letting my consciousness be dominated by demands and expectations based on the dead past or the imagined future.

Giving up an addiction means re-programming that part of your brain that makes you restless and unhappy if a desire is not realized.
