It’s just like quitting smoking. I don’t really care to scorn the 9/10ths (or whatever the number is) who fail. I care to celebrate the 1/10th that succeeds.

It’s more a confession to the mindset of these people who fixate on the pessimistic side of a pitched battle.

Couldn't agree more. It took me a few tries quitting cold turkey but I haven't smoked for 8 years now and have no desire to start again.

Congrats. This is hard especially with social pressure, like alcohol does or cannabis in some circles.
