It does.

For years, decades even, I had this compulsion to drink. It spoke to me in my head. I didn't know what it was or why I had it. My ignorance, IT's mystery, gave IT power in my mind. Over my mind.

I had been presented with different explanations of my compulsion to drink, but they didn't make sense to me. In some ways those other explanations made it more scary and powerful.

Once it was explained to me that voice was coming from the alcohol-craving beast in the animal portion of my brain, my life changed in a heartbeat.
