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.

There are different ways to do it, but there's tons of science in every area.

If you can get addicted to it, there's science that tells you how to stop.

And then the third is you have to learn how to live with yourself again.

Because you've been distracting yourself from yourself.

If you're addicted to something, it means you didn't like being home in your head.

That's what it comes down to.

And, you know, it's like, I haven't had a drink since I was 38 years old, right?

And I remember in my 30s, I didn't like being home in my head.

Didn't like it.

Didn't want to be there, right?
