You'll get better press if you use a crucifix.

I'm feeling like ^^ Scott up there, sounds a bit like a drama queen, too much the 'hey lookie here, i'm gonna go do good'. Also, what the fuck is 'pacing', am I exposing what an old fuck I am , or you actually mean the walking back and forth kind? Was there a lot of coke and/or crank in the drug mix? If not, I don't get the pacing thing.

If you tell yourself shit like 'I'll never have another drop' , or "I'll never have another ciggie', I think is a great way to set yourself up for failure. Kinda like what Fallible is saying. With such absolutes, if you slip and bum a smoke off a buddy, or have a beer on hot afternoon, you have failed, you crossed that threshold you set up to define success, a second smoke or drink isn't any worse, you're already past fail. I think this is a reason a lot of folk fail at this stuff, or I should say it's a strategy more likely to contribute to failure than to aid in success.
