Yup.
There is a committee in my head, bitterly debating my future.
On one side of the debate is ME. I want a happy sober life.
On the other side is MY ADDICTION. It wants to drink.
After just 25 short years of this daily debate I finally realized that every single thing that MY ADDICTION ever told me was a lie. All of it. Every word.
I no longer debate with the liar living in my head.
You can't negotiate with a liar. You can't train it. You can't educate it. Or shame it. Or threaten it. Or reason with it.
There are many many many things that YOU can do for YOU.
