I can tell you that I have an addictive voice that speaks to me daily and questions why it is I'm not drinking.
I acknowledge the voice is there, but dismiss the voice immediately. I do not negotiate or debate with the voice.
Not to be a downer, but I anticipate my addiction will be with me for the rest of my life and I will have to remain ever vigilant to stop it from rising.
If I were ever to feel overwhelmed by the voice, I would probably come here to SR and talk about it.
The voice is only a problem if I choose to listen to it.
The reason why it's easy to ignore, is because I don't drink alcohol anymore. The addictive voice is wasting its time, but I know it will never relent.
Good thing I don't drink.
