The Difference Between Need and Desire It would be to our advantage if we thought more about how many things we do not need. An alcoholic once said, I never drank unless I thought it was exactly what I needed to do at just that moment. There is a difference between I want and I need. The recovery program teaches us to say, I really don't need this chemical today. Whether I will need it tomorrow, I can decide tomorrow. When we turn our lives over to the will of a Higher Power, we can eliminate those things we want that are destructive, and concentrate on our constructive needs.
