>get out of just hating yourself when you fail This part is a choice. Choose to stop beating yourself up over it. You’re not perfect and neither is anyone else. Ultimately quitting is a continuous series of small decisions. You can make a decision at this instant, but you don’t control your future self, and you need to be ok with that. Come to the table with the understanding of the long term goal. If you slip up, the most important thing is to get back on track, which means letting go of transient mistakes and focusing on the long term path you’re on. A corollary to the above, if and when you slip up and buy a 12 pack, don’t keep it around, throw whatever you have leftover away. “But that’s such a waste!” Buying it in the first place was a waste. once your craving is satisfied, how does drinking a bunch of extra beer you don’t even want productive? If that means you’ve bought 12 beers and drank one, and you’ve searched the itch: throw 11 away, far away from you. The prime directive is to reset yourself back on the path as soon as possible.
