That sounds exhausting Davey1. A lot of the people in this sub-forum use AVRT to conquer those thoughts, myself included. It is a learned skill to recognize and dissociate from one's Addictive Voice. Sounds like something that you could use.
Congrats on 2 years sober and welcome to this corner of the internet.
Have a read around, there are some really fantastic informative threads about AVRT that I think could really help you.
