Very true. I've been mugging myself for years!

I like the line - I recognise, therefore, I abstain.

The second part i bombarded with logic , i might say i can't take it anymore ..
Where is the evidence ? There was no physical evedence i couldn't take the voice anymore the "i can't take it anymore" was part of the madness, so i called myself on it and with clarity i dismissed it and just sat comfortably listening to the radio or reading and waited it out .
The big fight took about a week and since then has reduced to nothing , if it comes back i can deal with it , i have endless patience in my resolve to stay sober , it dosn't .
