Falling off the wagon does not mean you don’t have discipline. In fact, it’s a chance to practice it. You can learn discipline just like any skill.

Take a quick smile, because you have won. You realized you fell off the wagon. That’s step one. Now, just as you’d help a friend who fell in the mud, help yourself back into this damn wagon and keep at it.
