Wanting to not want something is what makes you a person, Frankfurt said

Harry Frankfurt argued animals just act on whatever desire is strongest, but people can also want to want something different, like a smoker who craves a cigarette while wishing he didn't. He called this a second-order desire, and said free will means your action flows from the desire you actually want to be effective. An addict stays unfree even acting on a desire, because his will doesn't match what he wants to will.
