My friend (ok she's not really my friend but I think she's awesome) Tara Brach - on addiction and clinging. To a substance, a behaviour, a relationship - whatever the drug of choice.
Very often on here I see people (and do it myself) labelling and labelled as AP or DA or whatever - Tara suggests here that we are all in the same boat, running from suffering or clinging to what we believe will fill the hole in ourselves. In reality the labelling just keeps us stuck - it becomes us. Looking at our suffering and our less than wonderful behaviour as universal and part of being human, is, she says the start of really healing:
