Quotes by Marc Lewis (?)

“The trick to overcoming addiction is thus the realignment of desire, so that it switches from the goal of immediate relief to the goal of long-term fulfillment”
― Marc Lewis, The Biology of Desire: Why Addiction Is Not a Disease

“Instead of recovering, it seems that addicts keep growing, as does anyone who overcomes their difficulties through deliberation and insight.”
― Marc Lewis, The Biology of Desire: Why Addiction Is Not a Disease

In fact, survey research published over the last thirty years indicates that most addicts eventually recover permanently.9 For them, the disease label may be an unnecessary, even harmful, burden.”
