In this answer to a viewer's question, "letting go" author Guy Finley explains that liberation from any addiction begins with seeing the dual nature of the divided mind that claims to not want the pain of the addiction, while at the same time being attracted to the sensations that come with getting the next fix.
In this packed, 1-hour program, Guy Finley uses the common addiction of smoking to illustrate how addictions are first formed, then sustained.
