Is this "average 3 months" figure you heard from someone keen on Kentucky

From your experience, what was the average time between learning a new
habit, good or bad, and getting rid of an old habit?
How long does it take to get rid of a habit of celibacy?
How long does it take to get rid of a habit of walking into busy streets
without looking?

Do you know of a modern, scientific, rational form of mysticism?
Do you know of any mystical scientists, living or dead?
