Targeting Your Addict Voice

I teach all of my clients dealing with addiction how to separate their addict voice from their voice of reason. The addict voice comes from the part of the brain that controls the automatic functions of the body: breathing, hungar, sex drive. The pursuit of pleasure is automatic and requires harnessing by the voice of reason which comes from the part of the brain that does the intellectual thinking and reasoning. This is nicely explained in The Small Book by Jack Trimpey. Once trained to recognize the addict voice in pursuit of pleasure at all costs, it's more likely to be defeated by the intellect. Try it! Attack that voice that is trying to convince you to keep using even though your life sucks because of your addiction. Hammer that voice into submission. The choice is yours!
