'Playing the tape through to the end'....

If I had invented it I would have written a book
I wish I could remember who introduced the concept to me here, but I can't.
I was never very good with consequences - I was always a right now guy and screw it...sort it out tomorrow.
It's probably not the best strategy to take when what you're doing is destroying you.
Playing the tape through to the end - pushing past the rosy glow of 'wouldn't a few drinks be great' and remembering what really happened all those times I thought a 'few drinks' might be good - really has saved me more than a few times...and having my old posts here (along with everyone elses) to read has helped too.
