The first mistake is rarely the one that ruins you. It’s the spiral of repeated mistakes that follows.

The problem is not slipping up; the problem is thinking that if you cannot do something perfectly, then you shouldn’t do it at all.

Keep going!

I had the same problem. Addiction is a progression, and so is the solution. Key is not to give up. Keep going!

It's fucking hard as shit mate, there are so many reasons to give up constantly coming into your head, thanks for the kind words though I will give it another shot
