Habits (good or bad) display as addictions.
by From Volume 14, Issue 9: If you’ve ever been (or still are) a smoker, then you understand how some habits are hard to break. I guess, when you look at it, ALL habits are hard to break, right?

Habit or addiction?
From Volume 10, Issue 9:Reach for that bagel. Tell myself I’m unlucky. Follow a strict tooth-brushing routine. Judge others by their:
o Intellect
o Weight
o Attractiveness
o Skin color
o Political philosophy
Make the toilet paper come off the roll:
o From over the top
o From underneath
These repeated patterns we exhibit, I believe, are simply manifestations of our Knower/Judger—that “keeper of the rules” we carry around with us that makes getting through the day easier. After all, we don’t have to stop and think about things we already have an answer to, right?
Indulgence
From Volume 10, Issue 6:What do I do when “indulge”?
Indulging myself conjures up images of giving in, sinning, or breaking a rule—doing something I’d not ordinarily do.
Sabotage
From Volume 7, Issue 9:When you hear the word “sabotage”, what comes to mind? Some may remember the Beastie Boys tune: “Listen all of y’all, it’s a sabotage.”
Or maybe that Arnold Schwarzenegger movie from earlier this year? (You didn’t see it either?)
Sab-o-tage

I’m guessing you don’t consider yourself a “saboteur” (one who sabotages), yet I think we are all such vandalizers on a regular basis.
