Do things really change after 90 days?

Where is the source of this 90 day "neural pathway change" thing? It seems that even after 90 Days, so many people still have falls.

There is certainly no magic pill, but I can tell you from experience that even though I have had falls after 90 days (I had a 7 month streak), the battle I have now is completely different. When I go to the bathroom, I do what I need to do and that's it. I don't have a desire to do anything else. Same with the shower. Once in a rare while, I'll get a sudden craving while on the computer, and that's where my falls have come from. However, I can testify that putting a large amount of time between me and the addiction has had a tremendous freeing effect on me. I'm still not perfect, but no one is. It's all about progress. And when I look back over the last year and some, I see a tremendous amount of that.
