The War Within: Your Two Minds.

You said you would't drink last night.

You meant it. You always mean it.

But around 6:00pm, the familiar ache starts to hum in your chest—
a whisper first, then a roar.
And before you know it, it’s not just one glass.  It’s the whole bottle. Again.

And when you wake up this morning—puffy, panicked, mad at yourself—you feel like there’s two of you.

Because there are.

Let’s talk about her: the two-headed bitch in your brain.
The one who craves the wine and the one who promises she’s done.
The one who plans the detox and the one who sabotages it.
The one who dreams of freedom and the one who pours another glass with trembling hands.

You are not broken. You are in a psychological war with a part of your brain designed for survival, not freedom.

Why This War Feels Impossible

Because the part of you that wants the drink is not evil. It’s not trying to ruin your life.

It’s trying to protect you — from stress, from loneliness, from boredom, from grief, from rage, from the thousand emotions you were never taught how to sit with.

Your drinking mind is not your enemy.
It’s your unhealed self.

And your sober mind?
She’s your future.
Your freedom.
Your clarity.
Your truth.

Of course they’re fighting. Of course it feels chaotic inside your head. Of course you’re exhausted.

No one taught you how to listen to both with clarity (or compassion.)

Until now.

The Tool: The Two-Voice Exercise That Ends the Chaos

When you feel the craving rising, do this:

Step 1 — Pause for 30 seconds.

Sit. Breathe. Don’t judge. Don’t negotiate.

Step 2 — Take out your Notes app or a piece of paper.

Write two headers:
The Drinking Mind Says:
The Sober Mind Says:

Step 3 — Let both speak.

Let the craving voice say whatever she says:
“You deserve it.”
“Today was hard.”
“Just one.”
“You’re fine.”
“You can restart tomorrow.”

Then let the sober voice speak:
“I’m tired of waking up ashamed.”
“I want my life back.”
“I can’t keep doing this.”
“I deserve better.”

Step 4 — Look at the page like you’re looking at two children.

Both parts of you are scared. Both are trying to help.
Neither is wrong. Neither is the enemy.

THIS is the moment the war softens—
because you finally see the truth:

You’re not fighting yourself.
You’re caring for two versions of you at the same time.

Step 5 — Use the mantra:

“This is the craving, not the truth.”

It interrupts the autopilot.
It pulls you into the Observer Mind.
It gives you 10 seconds to choose the life you actually want.

Here’s the Real Truth…

Your sobriety hasn’t failed because you’re weak.
It’s failed because you’ve been trying to overpower a scared part of you instead of listening to her.

Freedom starts when the war inside you stops feeling like a battle and starts feeling like a conversation.

This is the work I teach.
The work that saved my life.
The work that will reshape yours.

If You’re Thinking “Holy Shit, This Is Me…”
