It means cutting it at a particular place.

So...

All addictions, getting out of addictions, they have sort of three steps in common.

It's really, behaviorally, they have three steps in common.

Now, I'm not talking medically.

I'm not talking about the medical interventions because that's different for different things with gambling and drinking and methamphetamine and whatever.

But the three behavioral steps in getting out of an addiction are number one, you got to get pissed.

You got to get pissed.

It's like, this is subjugating me.

I'm in a cage and I'm tired of it.

I'm tired of actually being a wholly owned subsidiary of that company or this behavior or this culture.

I'm tired of it.

I'm not going to put up with it.

You need to fight back by rebelling.

That's number one.

You need the spirit of rebellion.

If you're not ready to rebel, you're not going to get out.

Number two is you need to figure out how to stop.

You need to actually have an algorithm.

And that's dependent on what the substance or behavior actually is.
