Now, was that so hard?

A final tool -
see your Inner Addict
as an extremely persistent salesman;
one who is selling
something you definitely do not want,
perhaps a very large, hungry alligator which he claims
will be an affectionate pet.
Further imagine this salesman as wearing plaid pants,
a lime green bow tie,
a striped jacket and smoking a putrid cigar.

When he knocks
you don't have to open the door.
