I can definitely see certain vices and certain addictions like get out of hand very quickly, but especially with alcohol, Every now and then as a social drinker, if I go to a party and I'm like peer pressured into it, I can just like have one drink.

So that's how I built it for years and years, brick by brick, both improving myself and improving everything else that I'm doing on my output.
