I guess one of the biggest mistakes to do is to think I can do this minor thing and then it will be over. To some that "minor thing" is to have another cigar. To some it's another glass of alcohol. To some it's one more comment - this is mostly my own habit in the Net.
But one cigar is never enough, there's no such thing as "only one glass and then I stop completely", and certainly there is no "I just say this and I'll go".
When I write in English I'm forced to shrink my ideas a lot - they jus't can't be told with all the nuances I would have in my mother tongue. This helps me to have some discipline into my brains...
One question after "what I'm really doing now" could be "is this really necessary". If the answer is "no" and there are buts after that, then it's indulgence.
