Thanks for reminding me SPG
In case anyones not familiar with 'playing the tape through to the end'...it's a technique that has been useful for me and others...
It's very easy to remember the 'good' times of alcohol - we can all conjure up a rosy picture, usually involving us drinking 'normally' and having a great time....
but it's less easy to force ourselves to 'play the tape through to the end' and look at the consequences of our drinking....remember the embarrassments, the fight, the accidents, the bad situations, the legal trouble, the DUIs...whatever....it's important to try and make a conscious effort to remember the bad stuff too.
