For me, my Addictive Voice is the same thing as my Flesh Nature which is the same thing that ran my life thru all the years of my 'Self-Will-Run-Riot'. When I meditate (quiet my racing mind and observe the thoughts that run incessantly) I can see the whole process of that AV churning out thoughts, emotions, and the jump-start of automatic behaviors, desperately clamoring to get me (the observing Rational Mind me) to engage the clutch and let the AV / Flesh Nature run the show (wreak havoc).
It is not just Addiction-based thoughts, emotions, and auto-behaviors...It is all of the 'Instinct-out-of-Control' $#!+. For me, recognizing all of this helps, but that alone doesn't completely solve all my issues, and restore me to wholeness.
