I’m afraid I’m going to have to disagree with you on that one my friend;) Addictions and habits are one and the same. Addictions are learned habits. These are not my words but the ones of psychology. Why do addictions turn into addictions? Because we’ve unconsciously trained our mind to need the addiction of our choice to function.

Addictions absolutely need to be let go off, but when you let go of something, you need to fill your life with something else in order for the change to be lasting. That could be spirituality, a change of perspective, but it has to be something. Otherwise we are likely to fall back into the same loop during a moment of weakness. And these moments will happen.;)
