    Did you have a bad a habit you wished to change?
    What have you tried to break it?
    Did it work? Did it not?
    Did you fall back into it?
    Did you just give up?

    You get new bad habits to break and replace old ones

    You have no good habits

    Oh, this took me on a trip down memory lane. Found myself smiling.
    I had/have multiple bad habits I was and still trying to break. Some I'm just regulating.

    Over-speeding in the freeway. It became instinctual and habitual when I had my first bike. It's fun and exhilarating when the road opens, no cars ahead. It's better when there are cars ahead because I can test my maneuvering (I sound like an asshole and indifferent of the possible danger of it to others, I apologize), but it took one instance of getting caught to get me to stop playing in the freeway. I only drive in the freeway these days to clear my head. Night drives are the best. Other days, I go to a track.

    Then I used to smoke multiple cigars a day, but I started smoking strong cigarettes after that. I used to finish an entire pack a day which is obviously not good. So I just started monitoring myself everyday. Now I'm down to just three sticks a day. Aiming to completely stop before the current year ends.

    Checking my ex (admitting this is quite funny). I was just getting tired of myself constantly checking what she was up to so I went to the Philippines for business. When I came back, I was all good. Just working these days.

    You can't break bad habits, they break you.

    I have a lot of bad habits. I try not to force myself to break these bad habits because that might just aggravate them more by focusing on them. Instead, I take my time and work through them. I make progress, little by little. But progress is progress.

    As long as these habits don't affect anyone around you or yourself, then I think it's okay to keep them.

    I have a bad habit of talking back to people. Definitely not the most appreciated habit in the workplace.

    I have the bad habit of procrastinating a lot before getting work done.

    I'm still working on fixing this one. It's hard even with ADHD meds.
