text: the best way to give up bad habbits? i smoke, i drink, i eat chocolate, i drink soda, i dont save money, and i think they are all bad habbits. do you think they're bad because you/ yourself don't approve of them . . . or do you think they're bad because of what others have been telling you?  don't 'quit' doing anything because other people want you to, quit because that's a change in your life that you want to make.    i smoke cigarettes, i smoke pot, i eat fatty foods, i swear like a sailor, i get upset sometimes when people don't do what i want, i indulge in chocolate and sex . . . but you know what . . . i only want to quit smoking so i can ride a bike again, unless i get my lungs in good enough shape where i can do both!    bad is in the eye of the beholder . . . if you want to quit for your own self improvment, then the best way to stop is to try to put your mind in a place where you don't care about any of those things anymore.  stopping the action doesn't solve anything . . . but stopping the connection to it is biggest and hardest thing to do.
