Interesting timing as I have been pondering this very issue. What got 
me started was reading (several times) Steiner's Knowledge of Higher 
Worlds and Its Attainment, from the files section. He talks about 
balancing feeling, will and intellect. I believe this is a huge key 
to addiction and many other issues that plague our world today. My 
father was an alchoholic, so I am very, very familiar with the issue. 
As I have integrated the issue of balance more and more into my life, 
the importance of this has become obvious. Once I started changing, 
stopped letting desire rule (I am a scorpio) , etc. new structures 
began forming in me. I became aware of how often I had listened to 
nothing but desire. This is exactly what an alcoholic in that mode. 
Further alcohol moves once's consciousness farther away from thought, 
the more one consumes it. I suppose that Steiner's work is really 
different words for Bardon's soul mirror and elemental balancing, but 
for some reason it struck home more clearly for me. 

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Chris
