Joshua Fraser credits the 75 Hard challenge with reshaping his habits and identity through disciplined consistency. He's six months sober from weed with plans for a full year, and next targets alcohol despite enjoying wine and tequila. He argues that 90 days of intense consistency rewires who you think you are.

I've noticed for me personally, 75 Hard was a great amount of days to be consistent enough to seriously change your habits. And what I'm learning about myself is a really good time period for me to be extremely consistent is about 90 days. One thing I'll talk about is that I quit smoking weed this year. It's been about six months now, and for the first time, I'm like, you know what? I have no pull towards this. I feel like I could smoke again, like, once and not feel like I need to do it every day or every week. But my goal was to do it for an entire year. So I'm 100% committed to that. And I'm going to be consistent for 365 days. My next one will be with alcohol. I love a glass of wine and I love a family reservera from Don Julio, but I want to quit that. I don't think alcohol is a value add in many ways. And so I think being consistent in your actions just opens up your life to being so much better. Your identity will change. You'll become a stronger person. You'll be a happier, healthier human.
