Addictions/aversions (IMHO) do not demonstrate lack of energy; on the contrary, it takes INCREDIBLE energy to perpetuate habitual addiction/aversions.  That energy is simply trapped in a static loop.  Once you use [contemplation/meditation/willpower/etc] to hack yourself and undo that loop, that’s when you can tap mind-bending energy.  But you gotta be willing to hack yourself.  And it’s not always pleasant.

(But in the end, Yeah—it totally is.  😉  )
