Dear Byron,
Thanks for your references and explanations.
I agree with your definition of addiction. It's a commonly shared
one. I'd like to find out a more nlp centered one... could be
described in sensory language or as a process or a strategy...
I guess that could be very useful and will offer a new perspective
to practionners in and out the nlp field.
Be well,
