DROP IT LIKE A BAD HABIT!

Some habits are good some are bad.  What started out with just seeing it, followed by thinking about it. Before you know it we try to experience the activity, resulting in being owned by it, seeing no way out. Bad habits will either hinder us while many destroy us.
                                                               
                        You may have one, so many have a list of destructive habits.

The heart and mind cry for release. Some start as a good time that ends up in "What was I thinking"?  We're obviously not talking about something harmless. Relationships have been destroyed and we lose the trust of those around us. Health has been ruined due to a habit.  We have trouble with our minds or even breathing. Finally lives are tragically snuffed out like a candle at the end of the day. 

We can quit smoking for instance. Millions of us have been hooked on cigarettes. So how do you stop?

1. Realize they can destroy your throat and lungs.
2. know they can kill .
3. See that not everyone else has to do it.
4. realize quitting is a struggle, it is easier said than done.
5. It is to expensive.
6. replace them with something else, like bottled water etc.
7. Continual self talk
8  temporary medication
9. Go a different route, away from the store on the way to and from work.
10. journal.
11. Be accountable to someone and don't go through quitting a habit alone!
11. Follow Christ as your Lord or renew that relationship and pray like you have never prayed before.

Dropping bad habits seems hopeless but it is possible.  You/they may not even want to quit the habit but quit before you end your marriage or the Doctor says stop or else. Give it to God he can give you HIS peace.

WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE SUCCESS AND YOUR MIRACLE, GO ALONG SIDE THE NEXT PERSON WITH A  BAD HABIT AND TELL THEM YOUR STORY  OF HOPE AND FREEDOM.
