Addiction defies logic

Al is an alcoholic.

But don’t worry he’s learned the error of his ways and has signed himself up for rehab.

Upon entry they searched Al’s bags and found a bottle of whiskey.

So this addict, Al, had enough clairvoyance to know he needed to change but at the same time just couldn’t help himself.

He simultaneously acknowledged a destructive behaviour and continued to do it.

Because an addiction defies logic.

You can be extremely smart and still be a slave to the short term hit.

I don’t think anyone is under the illusion that smoking is good for you but people still smoke.
