CAROLINE KNAPP, DRINKING: A LOVE STORY
Alcoholism...is a progressive illness; it sneaks up on you so subtly, so insidiously, that you honestly don't know you are falling into its grip until long after the fact...[In the beginning] the drinking felt more like an experiment, an act based on some hypothetical remedy I'd begun to form about the connection between liquor and anxiety, liquor and sadness, how one corrected the other. ‘Drink as a remedy’...Over time, the lesson folded into the soul: liquor eases (1996: 18, 32, 63).

METHOD
Phenomenology —The ‘sciences des naivités’; the work of reflection that is
brought to bear on unreflective, everyday life…reminders of what we already know but continually pass over’ (2002: 7).

LIVING ADDICTION
Kierkegaard and Lévinas• Addressing the subjective implications of subjectivity
as ‘addict’ versus having an addiction • Relational self – How do we define ourselves?

SØREN KIERKEGAARD
Kierkegaard ‘urges us to love the person we see’ (Lippitt 2013:86), rather than ‘the self-generated image of the other person’ (Ferreira 2001, in ibid).

EMMANUEL LÉVINAS
The other is not something that I can ‘[take] hold of (prend) and comprehend (comprend)’ (2002: 16).
‘Desire – far from carrying in [it] only the hollowness of need [is]… bursting of the ‘more’ in the ‘less’ (GCM 50).

CONCLUSION
Though addiction presents particular challenges to subjectivity, Lévinas and Kierkegaard’s existential phenomenology is unconditional.
A self is becoming herself in relation to the infinite other, rather than in relation to the finite object.
Addiction and problem of need.
