Remind yourself that it's not actually YOU. YOU are that person inside who is able to observe these honest truths about where you are and have been and voice a desire to change.
HONOR YOU... CONGRATULATE YOU..... and let Slick go pout in the corner because YOU know there is a better way, a more joyous life, a more self-honoring path and a far more rewarding journey.
Good post. "Slick" is that AV the beast inside of you, the animal part of you. You are human, you are smarter than Slick. Slick needs you to survive, but you don't need Slick. Good luck!
