8)Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results. Converse of above, anything that hurts you....DON'T DO!
I've seen this definition before, but for me it should be insanity is repeating the same mistakes over and over expecting the exact same horrible results. Every time I drank, I knew that I would not stop at 1 or 2, that I would get drunk, that I would wake up around 1am with insomnia and still drunk, that I would wake up exhausted, that I would be unable to perform my job adequately, that I would lack the energy to give my family attention, that would more day would go by that I didn't start getting better... Knowing all that, I would still make the choice to drink. I am new to this forum and still getting acquainted - lots of great information, experience and support everywhere.
