Old habits die hard

Old habits die hard
Scant attention with whims to discard 
One can act with due regard
But many do not act smart

Undoing of ingrained suffering
By virtue of gathering strength
Be rid of silliness long-standing
To lessen the gap to reduce length

Breaking a habit is selective
Is no mean easy but rather
Needs strong resolve to be effective
Once decided never to falter

Avoid cycle of tryouts
Stay true to a reformed self
Deserving  then of a shout-out
Having triumphed above all else

  4. If one is not too far gone in their habits, it's worth a try. Always good to have an unconditionally supportive person or persons nearby if possible who have been there.

  5. Habits are hard to break, but sometimes they break you...just pondering.

    Have a great weekend Hank!
