Hoping my 42nd birthday will be a catalyst for change!
That would be great, but "hope" is not a strategy. And in my experience, calendar milestones come and go and unless there is significant action taken on your part, #42 will ultimately be just another day.
I remember when I was going to quit drinking at 34 because my wife was pregnant with our first child. Then I moved the goal posts to age 35. And then 36 and then 37 and . . . It took an unexpected visit to detox at the ER at 46 to get me to take some serious action. And even then, I resisted and tried to think my way out of my drinking problem. After a few more years, and on the brink of possibly losing stuff, like my marriage, my job, my health, my self respect, etc. I finally put everything I had into getting and staying sober.
