Soberlicious posted something in another thread that reminded me of a particular logic trap that is possibly more dangerous to the well-being of addicted people than any other form of Addictive Voice. It is the most fundamental illusion that keeps people trapped in addiction, and it goes like this:
"If you were capable of quitting drinking, you would have quit drinking by now, but you obviously haven’t quit, so that proves that you cannot quit. If you could have quit, you would have quit, but you didn’t, so you can’t."
For reference, here is the thread that
