Could you give me a working definition of action then?
Seeking to understand the nature of addiction and how it specifically relates to me, how is this not action? Civilized debate, searching inside one's self and in others for insight, trying to understand the role addiction plays in society and how society has impacted my own addiction, this seems to me to be a very proactive approach to my condition. Its not the extent of my action but its just as important to me as not drinking or eating healthy and exercising or seeing a therapist.
