as someone with few inconsistencies and poor ability to resist temptations i disagree.

i fail to resist temptations because why should i resist them? if i want to drink, smoke, eat, fuck then i do.

ive been an addict, there was no inconsistencies there either ie i had no internal problem with the actions i was performing, no 'i shouldnt do this but i will' more ''i know this is 'bad' but i do not care, everything is 'bad' after all''

as to avoiding temptations theres no need, if i dont feel like doing x i will not (its how ive quit before, got over it so i stopped).

then again maybe im just better at self-control then most, i have no debts at 31 and im 57kg at 183cm.

Or, as we call it in AA, "the f*ck-its". As in "my wife hates me, f'it, let's drink", or "Or I've been sober for six months but I've had two drinks. F'it, let's drink". Certainly got the best of me for nearly ten years.
