Bad MCBoss Jokes -- alpha testing, very very bad Q: What strategies have helped you when severely influenced? A: Lots, hard to remember, um ... 1. It seems helpful to work a strategy for a while, then change to another. Years of practice help. 2. DO NOT CONSIDER OR DO THINGS THAT HARM YOU OR OTHERS. Any habit can get copied and repeated. 3. Having a go-to behavior to do when confused is incredibly grounding. 4. Finding ways to relax and enjoy a needed behavior seems quite helpful. 5. Falling off a wagon is not the end, it's a time when influence is worse. Get back on when influence is better. 6. Inhibited things are possible very slowly if done in rewarded microsteps. 7. At this point, I only ever take of pleasure when I am also doing something useful. Never take of pleasure alone.
