text: 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?\n\nDon't 'quit' doing anything because other people want you to, quit because that's a change in your life that you want to make.  \n\nI 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!  \n\nBad 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.
