I made a commitment to completely cut out drinking and anything that might hamper me from getting my mind and body together. And the floodgates of goodness have opened upon me - spiritually and financially.
(Denzel Washington, Academy Award Winning Actor)
In order to accomplish something in life anything that can become a distraction must be discontinued. There can be no crutches kept that can hinder you towards your accomplishments. Keeping bad habits will stop a person from being totally focused on the objective.
