Yes we are. Our choices must be our own, in order for them to have meaning.


I quit drinking countless times. I believed it was just a matter of deciding to do so. But, no matter how hard I tried I always found myself drinking again. I found I needed to look very objectively at how I came to be drinking over and over again after a firm resolution not to do so. When I took a cold hard look at it, I found patterns. But even those insights were useless without a plan. And even then, the plans failed early and often. I found I needed to do what others had done, and done successfully, in order to put it behind me. Still, it had to be my choice to follow in their footsteps.


I'm much less interested in what you have done than in what you will do in the future. Pick a plan, any plan, even one of your own invention. But I would recommend that you have one, follow it, and learn from the results. I hope it does not take you as long as it took me.


All the best to you.
