Light-hearted List of 5 Habits to Kick this New Years
1. Smoking:
We’ve heard this lecture a thousand times, and the rant
of parents and other family members always increases ten-fold
around the Holidays. The time period between November
and January 1st, when you’re obliged to listen to what
the “relatives” have to say. But, let’s face it, the Holidays
are stressful enough, so unless you’re strong enough to
handle the stress involved with the Holiday aftermath
of clean-up, returns, dishes, and thank you cards without
the nicotine stress relief, then push this task of kicking
the habit aside for a rainy day when your throat is so
dry and scratchy that you don’t want to touch a cigarette
anyway.
2. Drinking:
Drinking costs a lot of lives and money every year, especially
around the Holidays. Now, if you’re the person who washes
vodka down with breakfast, I suggest skipping the New
Years resolution, and picking up an AA book for yourself.
Save that booze money to buy something nice for your loved
ones with a nice card attached promising to quit, or at
least cut down…as much fun as it is…no one likes a sloppy
drunk, especially when you get behind the wheel of a car.
3. Caffeine:
Mmmm…I know how fantastic it is to wash down that
morning cigarette with coffee. Caffeine is a major part
of many people’s day. It’s a jump-start on that hectic
day you have lying ahead of you, and it makes even guys
PMS if they go without it. But, caffeine is not healthy,
doctors have been telling us this for years. Yet, again
who can bear giving up this vital ingredient in our diet?
You can start slow by cutting back at first. Or hey, if
it’s someone else who has the problem- your wife or husband
or 16-year-old kid who just pulled an all nighter, switch
that drink to decaf. They’re so “tired” anyway; maybe
they won’t know the difference.
4. Drugs:
Drugs are bad. Everyone knows this, yet again and again
we test our invincibility. First with a little pot when
we’re younger, then we move on to better and more expensive
drugs. NEWS FLASH: Drugs are illegal. Of course they make
you feel good or at least taking them will make you feel
better, why else would so many people check into rehab
each year. So, this Christmas, put the pill bottles and
needles away, and concentrate on an activity that will
keep you on a constant high, and something that will keep
you out of jail.
5. Unprotected Sex:
You would probably break down in tears if I whipped out
STD statistics, so I’ll just get straight to the point…USE
Protection! They aren’t expensive, most of the time you
can find them for free. They’re great stocking stuffers,
and although it might not feel exactly the same, everyone
still has fun, and you don’t have to spend time worrying
afterwards that you’ll be dead in ten years, and so will
be all the other “friends” you’ve exposed.
Let’s face it, one night stands are great, and so is the
booze and drugs that got you into that situation, and
so is the after sex cigarette, and the morning after coffee
to wake you up from your all night stupor. BUT…we all
know deep down inside that these habits are detrimental
to our health. So, this holiday season do your best to
kick one of these habits, or at least cut back. Believe
it or not there are people out there that actually by-pass
these habits that many of us think we can’t possibly live
without.
