如何擺脫成癮的束縛？ (How to Weaken the Hold of Addiction)
- The behaviours always have roots in an intense, normally childhood-derived sense of being a terrible, unworthy person. In summary, the route to stopping addictive behaviour is to ask oneself how one is feeling, realise one is probably feeling very bad, grow curious about and sympathetic to the causes and then ask, what would be a better, kinder way of handling this sense of awfulness? Knowing that there is room and love for the feeling that provokes addiction is the key to weakening the hold of – and one day overcoming – what we are addicted to.
這些行為總是源於一種強烈的、通常源自童年的感覺，即自己是一個糟糕的、不值得的人。總之，戒除成癮行為的途徑就是問問自己的感覺如何，意識到自己可能感覺非常糟糕，對其原因產生好奇和同情，然後問，怎樣才能更好、更仁慈地處理這種糟糕的感覺？知道有空間和愛可以容納引起上癮的感覺，是削弱--並有朝一日克服--我們所上癮的東西的關鍵所在。
