I relate so much with your writing (both quitting and your writing style), thanks for sharing.

For me, this habit of breaking habits is based mostly on my curiosity about how my mind works and the fear of losing control.

I know that I easily get addicted to pleasure, so I quickly cut habits from my life when I have the first glimpse of losing control of it.

Lately I’ve been trying to quit this “all or nothing” mentality and adopt a more balanced mentality, where I allow myself to enjoy a cup of coffee or chocolate, within the amounts where I feel acceptable. It is not easy, but having compassion with myself has helped me not stress when going over the “limit” and also to stick with good habits when I need.

And as you mentioned, it is so easy to make this topic about me. Sorry about that!
