>When it gets bad I feel I need to push the reset button. It's not a minor detail - it's an active big decision. I'm not going to sit in a dark room. I'm not going to put myself in a situation that makes it easy to make bad decisions. I'm not saying "don't drink" - I'm saying analyze what situations put you in a place where you do drink, and don't put yourself in that situation. If it's caused by sitting on the internet for too long, use a timer. Actually use it. Follow it. You have free will and have the power to choose your action. If you can't control something, take a step back and control something further up in the chain. Hack your life.
There is a lot of wisdom in this post.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
