Your body speaks to you, directing your thoughts and feelings to ensure your survival and comfort. Your Addictive Voice does indeed stem from that same instinctive "animal voice" that ensures your survival and comfort, but not all animal voice is Addictive Voice. The two are very similar, but they are not quite the same thing.

The Addictive Voice is an exaggerated, maladaptive version of your healthy, animal voice. It can overtake your better judgment to the detriment of your survival and well being. Unless you have an ice cream Beast or a Feast Beast, that desire for "cookies 'n cream" flavored ice cream is not Addictive Voice, just as not all indulgences are addictions.
