Because I knew it would happen, I would do my best to control mine. I knew what I was going to say if I started one. I'd pratice it, in front of the mirror, in the car on the ride home from work.
Sounds funny? Maybe but I was in control of what I said when it did happen. Not my monkey brain looking to do as much damage as it could while covering everything in poo.
Knowing you are going to backslide, however, does not mean you should be looking for opportunities to prime the hand gernades and start chucking them willy-nilly. You still do your best to prevent it.
And example? The prison guards know there will be a riot one day, but knowing it will happen doesn't mean they get to be lax.
