Recognize your AV dragging your past indiscretions into the present.

Hi RDBplus3,

I was surfing another thread on SR and saw your post wherein you wrote:

"My wife hates it when I drink. So when I travel on business, I have the tendency to overdo it. Or maybe I just let my addictive nature run out of control, unrestrained. Not a smart use of my faculties, since I am always responsible for whatever happens. I HATE that next morning when I have to try to figure out what actually happened the night before."

Recognize your AV as you read my rewrite of your above sentences.

"My wife hated it when I drank. So,when I travel on business, I had the tendency to overdo it. Or maybe I just let my addictive nature run out of control, unrestrained. Not a smart use of my faculties, since I am always responsible for whatever happens. I HATED that next morning when I had to try to figure out what actually had happened the night before."

Understandably, loved ones may go slow in believing you will never drink again. That is a belief they may never fully achieve, but it is an issue that your Big Plan is immune to.

I found that in most of the rare instances I revealed my Big Plan to others, it did seem to help speed up regaining trust. And when I say "revealed" I don't mean rehashing the past with why I made it, I mean just sharing with them my personal oath.
