A Bad Habbit

Bad Habits Many people are trapped in some kind of a bad habit that they wish they never had. Bad habits are formed more easily than good habits, and are usually the hardest to get rid of. People who know of their bad habits want to change, but no matter how hard they try, they usually find themselves not being able to. Bad habits are formed over a period of time; it is important for us to avoid bad habits and try to control bad habits to improve our confidence and self-image. Smoking, drinking alcoholic beverages, and gambling are often the mayor bad habits that people confront. Smoking is a long time dangerous bad habit because it can cause lung problems and even cancer. For instance, Luis, a friend of my father, has been smoking for over thirty years, and he is not planning to stop. Two weeks ago we were playing racquetball in a YMCA gym, and I noticed that after ten minutes of running around, he could not breathe well. A cause of that fast fatigue and breathing problem is too much smoke in his lungs. Another symptom of the smoking working on his system is his fast skin deterioration. He is forty-five years old, and he looks like he is in his seventies because smoking makes a person age faster. This example can be easily observed in twins when one smokes and the other does not. Drinking can become a mortal habit in today’s society and not just for the drinker, but for the people around him. Many people use drinking to escape reality. For example, my uncle Larry uses to get drunk every time he had an argument with my aunt. His excuse was “so I can forget it.” After two years, he becomes addicted, and what was after an argument turned to be every day after work. He created a bad habit which leads him to alcoholism. A year later, he decided to join a rehabilitation clinic to get clean. Right now he is living a nice life with my aunt and my two cousins free of alcohol. Gambling is a very irresponsible habit that people should be concerned
