Those old environments, those old relationships.

I've either just not noticed this in my life or I've just had really good friends and any time I've had friends.

tried to change, they've just been supportive around it, even if that's not their thing.

Most of my friends have been very supportive.

Like when I quit drinking, not that they were big drinkers to begin with, I guess maybe that was part of it is that, you know, they probably had a normal amount of drinking that they were doing.

And they're like, yeah, you don't want to drink, fine, that's fine.

I think another thing though, too, is that I've never tried to like shove it back in people's faces too.

I think that's something we need to kind of highlight is that when you are going through these changes,

Like do be a little bit considerate of other people's where they're at.

They're not at the same spot as you.

I see a lot of people change and then they think everybody should be doing this, right?

That's going to ruffle some feathers that don't need to be ruffled.

Yeah.

Let people do their thing.

But even in the research too, Mark, we see that.

There's a 2024 systematic review

of behavioral change studies and all that, they could only find 19 clinical trials that tracked outcomes more than a year out.

So even like the researchers are just obsessed with like this initial change phase and not the maintenance phase.

It is a big blind spot across the board.

It's also just like, what does maintenance, what does change, long-term durable change actually require?
