I love to know how you deal with guilt when you do slip up.

I've stopped unnecessary material purchases, but sometimes I cave and make spontaneous purchases

which then led to guilt.

How do you react to this?

You know what's funny about this is I chew my nails.

That's how I react to all my guilt.

Well the frame of the question is fascinating, right?

Because she says here that I've stopped unnecessary material purchases.

Sometimes I make unnecessary material purchases.

And like there's a weird sort of denial here, right?

And what role does denial play in guilt?

Can I tell you a story from Ireland that I think fits with this?

This guy goes to this bar every week.

This guy's sheamus, right?

And he always orders four pints of beer.

So always orders four pints of Guinness, man.

Does this all every week?

One week he comes in and he orders three pints of Guinness.

And the bar man's pouring the Guinness as sheamus.

He says you always buy four pints of Guinness.

Never ask why.

No, he's suddenly it's three pints of Guinness.
