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.

That's the one I use, Dee. Thanks for the reminder and thanks for keeping Carol's name alive...she really helped me and countless others here.
