We make promises to others we wouldn't think of breaking: our spouses, friends, our business partners our coworkers. Yet, we have no problems breaking the promises we make to ourselves. "I won't waste time on useless sites", "I'll stop procrastinating", "I'll do better", "I won't lose my temper", "I won't drink anymore", the list goes on and on.

This person steps in and does something, hangs on, survives, lives and breaks the meaningless.
Go, continue, live, survive because we are all depending on you.
