Hello,
I am curious about the exact meaning of the passage on P.316 of the Millionaire Fastlane :
"Escaping credit card debt requires a commitment to process over event, except in the reverse."

The context: "Or perhaps you live in a house that’s just too expensive and you have paid for everyday staples like groceries using your credit card. Escaping credit card debt requires a commitment to process over event, except in the reverse. Repent from the Sidewalk and make new choices that are designed to keep your debt from growing, or better, to get it declining."

I am leading students (non-native speaker of English) to read the book for a school bookclub, so I need to understand the content as best as I can, so I really need help with this "except in the reverse." Thank you.
