6 分钟Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.
How long does it normally take for someone when they realize this is unhealthy,
this thing I'm doing, this addiction is not good for me, until they actually give it up?
Is there any data on that?
I couldn't answer that one.
I think it's a highly variable and individual issue.
It has to do with what resources they have to heal.
It has to do with what support they have.
It has to do with what cost their habit is exacting on their lives.
It has to do also with some belief that there's a part of us that's actually healthy and we can get in touch with it.
There has to be a co-combination of factors and it's very individual.
It also depends, of course,
the degree of trauma a person suffered and and addictions are always about
like you've heard my definition of addiction and i'm sure
if i asked you like if i asked them from talking to a thousand people put your hands up
if according to my definition you get an addiction virtually everybody in the room will put their hands up maybe there'll be two liars who but not 998 and then i asked them Not what was wrong with the addiction,
but what was right about it, what did you get from it?
So if I asked you that, so you've had your behaviors, if I asked you,
I don't care what it was too, but if I asked you what did you get from it, what would that be?
You get some type of relief, you get some type of pleasure, you get some type of, yeah.
