The defense mechanism of narcotization is often expressed through habit and routine. A Nine who breaks a habit often feels as if he's lost a piece of himself. Nines rely on habits that enable them to go to sleep while the habits net as automatic pilots. These are people who may have the same breakfast every day, year after year. I once read a news story about a man who went to the same diner even day for forty-two years and ordered the same meal.
