What is your vice?

You know those terrible habits such as jealousy, hate, bitterness, gambling, drugs, alcohol, pornography, sexual urges and/or cravings? C’mon, I can’t be the only one struggling with vices. Lets share!

We all have habits good or bad. That’s nothing new. But when the bad habits you’ve picked up are destructive, and you find them hard - nearly impossible to change them...they are known as vices.

Believe it or not, my vices happen to be caffeine and sugar, which can equally be destructive as any other terrible habit. Seriously, I found it very hard to start my day off without caffeine coffee. Are you kidding me (with all of the crazies around the office I needed an extra shot of caffeine to get me through it)? Decaf simply would not do.

But when I tried to get off of it…ah man, the crazy-painful headaches would send me into a whirl spin. Needless to say, the rest of my day would be ‘shot’. I would be no good to anyone, seriously. It would really be that crazy, so much so, that I would give in to drinking a cup of caffeine coffee just so the headaches would stop. This was crazy to me. And, if you’re anything like me, you don’t like anything controlling you. I was being defeated by caffeine. That’s a joke to me, which wasn’t funny… mind you.

Clearly, I don’t like being controlled by anything or anyone. I had to figure my way through this. So with a lot of counseling, praying and meditation – I found my way through it. It wasn’t easy, I tell you. But it was possible. I had to learn how to control my thoughts and focus on positive thoughts. I also kept busy. It worked for me it may just work for you too.

-Stay fabulous!
