You know, all this talking with your demons thingy? If you've watched The Two Towers (the second film in the Lord of The Ring trilogy), you have probably seen the part where Smeagol talks with he's evil self, Gollum, and ends up telling it "Go away, I don't need you any more!" (from memory, so it's not an exact quote). That's kind of the same thing I've started to do.
