Inside Defeat

For an addict, when the head tells them they cannot do this anymore, they agree and then keep up the bad habit.  If the body tells them, they say "I will stop," and then they keep going downward physically with addictive stuff.  It is only when the insides, the heart, soul, decide that you are defeated, do you have any chance.  Why?  Because the addiction is basically a spiritual problem, manifested in crazy mind and body.  So the solution has to be a spiritual one that addresses the inside need for connection.  "I am lonely," says the addict with that feeling in the body and mind, but until the feeling goes deep into them, a heart loneliness, there will be little chance of recovery.  The solution is love, and only the heart knows how to do this unselfishly.  Otherwise, one remains at the jumping off place, until they jump.
