Chapter 8. The subconscious mind - part 2

The subconscious also stores our automatic patterns and addictions ruled by them. It makes the use of addictive substances or behaviors without us being aware of it consciously.

An addict does not ask himself before every time he’s using if I need it now, or it can wait for another time. The addict with his 5 senses is not involved in the decision whether to use the addictive substance or behavior, now or not. This is done automatically with help of the subconscious.
