90 Days? 01 Feb 2009 01:09 #2700

Yankel	Hey, I was wondering why 90 Days? what is so special about 90. I was under the impression that it takes 40 days to break any bad habits(Noam Elimelech? I believe) Thanks

Elya K OFFLINE Gold Boarder Posts: 235	The number is 21 days to break a habit, but not to break an addictive tendency that affects the chemicals in your brain. After 90 days your neurons begin to create new neuro pathways in your brain when they don't experience the rush of the addictive feeling we get when acting out.

eme	V'sain Tal...moreed hageshem.....it takes 30 days (3 Teffilos X 30 = 90) to get very used to it - to the point that if we forget if we said it, we can assume we did...

However, I would wonder whether he is referring to addiction as Elya explains. ( Udvorov tzrichim iyun or biur.)
