So wanting is a key driver then, since it makes the chemical changes more sticky?

  “Wanting” is almost entirely a hormonal response (to dopamine and a few other chemicals) - you don’t “want” much of anything if your dopamine levels are low. So “wanting” is an indicator, more than a driver. That said, “willpower” (whatever that is) does impact your hormonal production - plenty of research on that, eg around the effects of meditation on the brain
