Avra,
Like others have said, I know the Beast, mine is called the Demon. I woke this morning and thought "how do I trick the demon into a secret chamber in my mind and lock the door?" That is how sad my life is - like knowing the names of the convience store clerks where I buy the poison, like I'm a character on Cheers.
I think everyone has that presence in their mind. The physical part for me is easy when I stop, it's the mental part that is impossible.
Thanks for sharing,
Toss
