I know if I give my mind a single window of opportunity to act on its own accord, it will unquestionably choose the wrong thing. Even now, people think they can just stop whatever they're doing. They're choosing it, and then they go to stop it, and they're like, oh, no, I actually don't have the willpower to stop this. I might be in trouble. I think I solve my addictive tendencies by being addicted to blueprint, the ability to do these things consistently. And so I know how to channel my behaviors in a productive way. So I don't come at this from a place of holiness.
