That is good, Fini, especially the 'dammit, so can I' part. I used the other extreme to good effect too, 'I don't care if no one ever in the whole history of the history of the world's history has ever done this, I will, dammit. Nothing will prevent me from succeeding'.
I've also thought about the things I risked by drinking and continuing to drink - my job, my family, my marriage, my health, and I imagined the reaction and resolve if some force outside of me was setting itself against me to take those things from me by force against my will. I'd find a blade in my hand and a wall at my back in a hurry if that were the case because I would never allow that to happen.
