I see so much of myself in your posts, lessgravity.
When I first dicovered AVRT and the concept of separation I wanted to shout it from the rooftops. My relief was immediate and tangible as I converted in an instant from half hating myself to hating half of myself. It is a distinction I think you can probably relate to. There
really IS a voice in my head! I wanted to share it with the world.

The part I have had trouble with is exercising my Executive Control over IT. I have relinquished that a few times and chosen to drink. It's been a mistake EVERY time.
Now that I have identified IT, the only rational relationship for me to have with IT is to subordinate IT to my will. It's just unchartered territory for me.
