Here's a short clip of Eckhart Tolle talking about how awareness can be used to help deal with addiction :
I remember talking with a guy who is involved with the 12 steps about awareness. He asked me if just as I was about to look at porn was I fully conscious of what was happening, or did my mind go into a kind of fuzzy/autopilot state ? Taking the time to examine what was happening I found that my mind did, in fact, go into a kind of autopilot mode. In other words, I was not acting in full awareness. Something took over. With this in mind, try listening again to what Eckhart Tolle is saying in the Youtube video I posted above. If unconscious/semi-conscious behavior is the sickness, then surely awareness is the medicine?
