Bad habits you finally gave up

I quit smoking several times gaining 10lbs each time, finally quit completely about several years ago, it was not easy.. Quit drinking about 6 months ago and instantly lost 20 lbs so that evens things out a little.

Miss having a smoke occasionally still, but really haven't missed drinking. have one beer sitting in my shop fridge just in case and haven't felt the need for it. A lot less stomach issues and headaches since i quit too.

I quit buying soda (Dt Mt Dew), will still have one if I'm offered but if I have them at home I will drink too many since they are convenient. There's nothing Diet about diet sodas.
 
Smoking and chewing.
Was probably at 2 to 3 cans of day for dip, along with a half pack to a pack a day of cigs.

1 can of grizzly straight got me 2....maximum of 3 dips.

Porn and masturbation. Cold turkey. Haven't tugged on myself for like 3 years now. Its a pretty pathetic habit if you really think about it.

Pot. I've quit, started using again, then quit again, then started using....this time I pray for the strength to make it stay away.

Sugar. I used to be close to 4 hundo. Could and would drink a 24 pack of mt dew in a day polished off with a dozen donuts.

Theres quite a few others. Anger/rage. Control. Sex. Narcissim....

Beer after work.

Technically still at work, but no longer doing work. Full sized fridge stocked full of beer and usually an owner and couple PM’s would come upstairs to our office next to the fridge and want a cold one or several. Some days it would be 2-3PM and we wouldn’t leave until 6PM. I always only had a max of 2 because of the drive. I’m surprised that no one had gotten a OUI while I worked there.

I haven't heard OUI in forever.

Had a buddy get one in school, we called him OUI Bri

I don't smoke and have never done any drugs. I rarely drink. Like 1 mixed drinks a month.

But I have a terrible sweet tooth and drink way to much mtn dew and eat way to much candy.



I'll quit when I'm dead.

Yeah me too. I brought a 2lb sack of taffy with me to work. It's half gone and I've only been here a bit over 2 weeks. :eek:. Don't drink soda often though. Had a Sprite maybe a month ago. Mostly water and at home ill get sugarless Redsters

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH!!!:flipoff2:
 
I used to have a bad habit of late-night snacking, especially on chips and sweets. I decided to change things up about a year ago. One day, I just said enough is enough and switched to healthier options like fruits and nuts. It wasn’t easy at first, but after a few months, I hardly even crave the junk food anymore.I found some great tips on what to ask a rehab by Abbeycare guide when I was thinking about getting support for other habits. Even if you’re not looking for rehab, it really helps to know what to ask when seeking advice or support.

What a bunch of fuckin quitters. :flipoff2:

Give me alcohol, weed, porn, and women.
(well I don't chase women. The wife frowns on it. Also My bad looks and off putting personality has always protected me from the temptations)
 
Quit caffeine because high blood pressure.....
Quit my XJ after 23 years with it, because I'm too old to comfortably work on it anymore. Bought a new boat to replace it. Two step forwards, one step back :homer:
 
Quit soda's except for the occasional one, now and then. Back in the early 2000's I'd drink about a 6 pack per day of Mt Dew.

Quit chewing on my fingernails about a decade ago, that was more of a self-confidence thing. As my confidence grew, I just naturally stopped.

I drank heavily in the Army in 1990's, not so much after I got out, had a beer occasionally (less than once a month) up until last year. Now I just don't.

I also quit listening to that voice in my head that said, "You're not good enough". Actually, I buried that voice completely using an NLP/Self-Hypnosis technique about a decade ago.

That is a good one. I had low self confidence for many years when I was younger, which really plays a huge role in many aspects of your life. It started maybe in middle school and lasted into my 20's.

What do you still have to look forward to?
 
Smokes, watching my father in law slowly suffocate from emphysema and die a terrible death made me decide I didn’t want to die that way. I’m not sure how people afford to smoke now. Hell a pack is eight to ten dollars now.:eek:

Are you married? I’ve attempted this, but the wife is still hot and only gives it up once a week. 6 days between is brutal, especially with her in yoga pants every day.
 
I gave up putting opiates and benzo's up my nose, daily, after something like 10 years. What started as innocent prescriptions, turned into a really bad habit.
