The greater the quantity of reasons-and the stronger the reasons-that you have to keep going, the more likely it is that you won’t quit.

You can think of this person as a “goals sponsor”, if you will. When you’ve been chasing an important goal for a while, but you haven’t made much progress and you feel like giving up, call someone whom you know will talk you out of quitting. If they ever feel like having a drink, they’re supposed to call their sponsor so that their sponsor can talk them out of it. One of the things AA does for them is give them a sponsor.
