Self-respect is the root of discipline: The sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.

if i am climbing out of a hole just to get into another hole of the same thing;
trust me, i will do nothing but walk away from it;
you have been good, then i realise, you are no less than who i have been made me suppress as i am with all these years, if it's not much worse;
you were the one that said: i can leave. i can walk away.

and

yes

i

can.
