There are many types of addiction — drugs (the basis for this session), smoking, alcohol — and there's often a real will to break that fixation. This episode is about reaching for the point of threshold at which that can be achieved. As the proverb in the title suggests, it may be a very small thing that brings about a very big change. It's worth asking yourself, 'What happens if I never change?' So, if you've become a slave to addiction, look for that point of threshold and break free!

Adam Cox uses metaphorical images of a deep dark forest, and being weighed down with heavy baggage, in order to re-visit coping strategies from childhood to introduce a more authentic, 'future-pacing' and real version for the listener.
