Fascinating talk!! This guy has educated himself about addiction in an amazing way. He's spot on with both the cause and cure for addiction- connection!
A person that feels disconnected from themselves and society, will find ways to relieve that pain. Often that manifests as addiction to many things..... sex, alcohol, drugs, work, almost anything.
As was said in this talk, the best way to stop an addiction, is to help that person re-connect with society. Often that starts with 12 step programs.

Anybody that has somebody in their life dealing with addiction, should listen very carefully to this video.
