The response becomes ingrained the addiction if im trying to make a it . Mr. Stevenson it is the best time. You are motivated. You are able to make a plan that will help you be successful, hopefully, down the road. When the motivation is not a strong, maybe it is february and not january, you are ready to make the changes.
