RE:"I see the Beast as a piece of me that's functioning just as it should but since I can't tell it to undo what I taught it to do through all of my drinking, that's why there's now a conflict. I can't just send it a memo that I helped it develop a drive for poison and that it needs to stop it's job now...that's just not an option. It's kind of like a belly button...it had a use once, but now it's just there."
I had to laugh at "can't just send it a memo" - perfectly put! This made real sense to me. The belly button analogy very fitting.
Thanks for your post - very helpful in synthesizing the information in a way that makes logical and common sense to me. I've copied all of the above quote to add to my "Cliffs Notes" on this method to help keep pertinent information in mind.
Thanks again,
