But that's not sustainable just to cut something out because it's being used for something to give them that sense of relief or that sense of peace or that sense of connection or spiritual or otherwise. You've got to eventually start building towards something. What's the life I'm going to create?

If you look at the 12 steps, the last part of the 12 steps is to practice these principles in all our affairs, which means go out and build a life. You know, don't find yourself really small. We were talking beforehand, there was a, I think he was a biophysicist. I can't remember, E.M. Jelinek. He was at Stanford for a bit at the end of his career.

And he had done a lot of research on alcoholism and wrote a book in the 50s or 60s called The Disease Concept of Alcoholism. And out of that book, there was a curve, and you can look this up. It's called the Jelinek Curve. I don't think he actually created the curve. It was credited towards him. In fact, I think he even kind of dissociated himself from it, but it came out of his works.

And it starts off with, at the top, and it's for alcoholism, like where people start drinking. And it's in the crucial phase as they start drinking more. And at first, when people are drinking more, their tolerance increases, but they start to experience some problems. They're hungover. They're late for work. They're having arguments, but it's nothing that drastic.

They're dependent on it. They need it just to get by. They need it to get to work, you know? They can't keep the job. They can't keep their relationships. Their physical body is starting to fall apart.

They're getting sick because of it. There's a lot of other factors in it. And then they come down to the bottom of this and it's this cycle of drinking and stopping and drinking and stopping. Drinking until I can't anymore, physically sick, and then going back to it as soon as they can.
