I am still early in recovery and the beast still tries to talk to me. I usually ignore him, but the last few days the ignoring is turning to anger. In my mind I want to yell at him in my loudest voice "SHUT UP!!!"
I am grateful that there is a separation in my mind between him and myself. I can isolate him and tell him no, no matter how much his persuasion is gnawing at me.
Good Luck,
Toss
