Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present the addiction phenomenon as a loss of inner freedom (the freedom of making a decision). The theses that we present in this paper are the result of observations made through many years of work with addicts of all kinds (both substantial – drugs, alcohol, and nonsubstantial ones – gambling, internet). Losing the freedom of making a decision by constant and repetitive defeat by the means of pleasure has the aftermath of also losing the sense of an addict’s own existence, which is based on the feeling of building a wanted future for a person and his/her surroundings [1], and reinforces the circulus vitiosus of addiction. The understanding of these metaphysical principles is an important part of the recovery of an addict who wants to build a logical system of opinion to make a balance between psycho-biological needs on one side, and heterogeneous possibilities of freedom through the categorical norms of mind on the opposite.
