Rock-Bottom Insanity:
I’m going to jump in my car and drive 100 MPH down LBJ Freeway because that’s what I’m addicted to.
Reasonable Insanity:
On the next good weather day, I’m going to go check the air in my tires, clean my windows, put on my helmet and gloves then jump in my car and drive 100 MPH down LBJ Freeway because that’s what I’m addicted to.
Do you see the difference? The first is a zombie-like state of rock-bottom insane addiction; all I can see is my addiction, and I want it now. The second is just a little more patient – I do want it now, but I’m willing to wait till tomorrow. Perhaps this is the very last stop before that destination we call: “The Twilight Zone”. I want as much safety in my self-destruction as possible because I still have one brain cell remaining. Thank God somebody grabbed my car keys.
