A lot of the steps I’m prescribing in this chapter—sobriety, working out, eating right, and getting enough sleep—can feel very daunting if they’re not currently part of your lifestyle. Don’t let that deter you. I’m a firm believer that no matter how formidable they might feel, there are very few negative habits you can’t break in thirty days. Whenever I’m trying to improve an aspect of my life, thirty days is the goal I set for myself. And I’ve always been able to meet my goal in that time frame.
