Addictions

Notice the feelings of craving as body sensations and observe them carefully. Try to resist them and not be controlled by them.

You might lose the fight the first five or ten times, but eventually you will win.

After that you might lose again. But when you keep on trying, losses become rarer and victories more common.

On certain addictions: Fleeting future pleasure is not worth it if it is followed by sufferings of regret and realization of damage to health and appearance. Try to live your whole life as one situation. (Fleeting, short-lived, long-lasting and one-off pleasures can all be valuable per se though.)
