Episode 41: Roads only go where they go

In the moment before deciding to relapse into a bad habit, most
people generally endorse some variant of the belief that "this
time it will be different." No it won't. You've been down that
road before -- hundreds, if not thousands, of times -- and you
know where it takes you. That's because roads only go where they
go. It's impossible for a fixed pathway to vary with respect to
its destination. Pushing back against this irrational belief will
significantly improve your chances of lasting behavioral change.
