Addictions and Resolutions

What are the nuts and bolts of de-addiction medicine?  How does ayurveda approach habits and addictions?  What is it like to be a fantastic human being on the planet with many habits and addictions?

slowly
and surely
i will be cured
of myself
pleasure by pleasure
pain by pain

everything else
is candy
a drug
a distraction
from the desire
of a free and true heart my whole life
has led to this
now i follow this river
and discover which ocean
is mine
