Dinah,
You explained it really quite well, or so I think. The way I understand it from what you said is this: Every BODY is used to a way of living. A runner (mind) is used to runnning, but her body is used to running too. If the runner doesn't get the chance to run, both body and mind will feel it; it's the same with an addict; both body and mind are looking for that fix.
We all have rhythms, we all experience things periodically. Again, it's mind and body. The needs we experience, the feelings, are all a part of us. Some of them, we may have convinced our bodies and minds to need, and others we may not have. Some of them, like addictions may be our faults, while others may have developed due to circumstance, or heredity. In any case, we have them now, and we need to learn either to let them go, or to live with them. Looking for the cause may help us emotionally, but finding the cause doesn't always help to eliminate the problem.
Anyway, that's just the way I see it.
Good luck,
Dee.
