Some cognitive-behavioral theorists believe that the pull of addiction is as much about the <u><em>expectancy</em></u> of the pleasurable effects a drug will bring as it is with actually experiencing those effects.
Explanation:
Cognitive thinking can be described as the behaviour of a person influenced by the thinking of his mind.
For example, certain cognitive behavioral therapists believe that experiencing pleasure from drugs is not so much as compared to the thoughts of pleasure from drugs which a person has in his or her mind.
