Contents

Development [link]

It takes about 21 days to establish or break a bad habit.[2]

Will and intention [link]

A key factor in distinguishing a bad habit from an addiction or mental disease is the element of willpower. If a person still seems to have control over the behaviour then it is just a habit.[3] Good intentions are able to override the negative effect of bad habits but their effect seems to be independent and additive — the bad habits remain but are subdued rather than cancelled.[4]

Prevention [link]

The best time to correct a bad habit is immediately, before it becomes established. So, bad habits are best prevented from developing in childhood.[5]

Cure [link]

There are many techniques for removing bad habits once they have become established. One example is withdrawal of reinforcers - identifying and removing the factors which trigger the habit and encourage its persistence.[6]

    Bad Habit

    by: Offspring

    Hey man you know I'm really okay
    The gun in my hand will tell you the same
    But when I'm in my car
    Don't give me no crap
    Cause the slightest thing and I just might snap
    When I go driving I stay in my lane
    But getting cut off it makes me insane
    I open the glove box
    Reach inside
    I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride
    I guess I got a bad habit
    Of blowin' away
    Yeah I got a bad habit
    And it ain't goin' away Yeah
    Well they say the road is a dangerous place
    If you flip me off I'm the danger you'll face
    If you drive on my ass
    Your foot's on the gas
    And your next breath is your last
    Drivers are rude
    Such attitudes
    But when i show my peace
    Complaints cease
    Something's odd
    I Feel like I'm god
    You stupid dumbshit goddam motherfucker
    I open the glove box
    Reach inside
    I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride
