Play the Tape all the way Through!!

This sound bite, more than any other, tells me that when I start thinking about drinking again, I need to play the tape all the way through..

I have been involved with drinking, not caring if I was thinking about the consequences. I did not care. I wanted to get "loaded" and that was all that mattered.

However, what happened with my drinking created the situations with which I was dealing! My life was a mess.

YOU do not need to deal with these situations! You just need to make sure that you are "playing the tape all the way through." Ask: "What will happen to "ME" if I drink again?" I need to make sure that I am always thinking and playing the tape of what will happen if I do drink again.
