Getting Rid of Old Habits

I thought that I have gotten rid of some bad old habits but sometimes it will just come back. Just like the weeds in the garden. No matter how many times we remove the weeds, after some time they will grow back. The only way to stop the weeds from growing is to grow the grass we want and cover up the whole garden.

Similarly, the only way to stop falling back to the old habits is to substitute them with healthy and empowering habits. I am well aware that I normally fall back to the bad habits when I am feeling lonely or don't know what to do with my time...
