Hard habit to break?

Is there a deeply entrenched pattern or habit in your life (this could be a person, place, thing or behavior) that you wish you could abandon? Why don't you?

Comments:
I won't stop abusing drugs because it appears to me that many great artists have also abused drugs. I know that this is flawed logic, because there are also many great artists who did not abuse drugs. Here is where biological systems of addiction come into play; the acknowledgment of which then leads me back to my belief that many great artists have abused drugs.
 
Why?

Lacking a consistent strong will. This pretty much feeds into anything I want to do or don't want to do.
 
I could wish to stop to hear what my inner demons have to tell me, as far as my inner angels don't seem to have nothing interesting to tell me.

I can't quit, since the opinion of these creatures reflects exactly who I am and why.
 
Living is the hardest habit to break, considering that we seem to come from nowhere and go nowhere in the end. It seems it is all futile in the end for the individual, only the species matter. So why do we keep living? Believing in the after life is the solution for most people. The pain of living is compansated by religious love. Religious feeling must be like sexual love. The pain of commitment to a relationship is compansated by sexual love. It is very hard to give up sex (monks must know that quite well), but it is even harder to give up life, because love hormone is the sweetest drug there is.
 
Pornography is a difficult ( impossible?) habit to break. I've been addicted since I was 13 and I'm close ( too damn close )to 50 now. Porno is fine if your intent on remaining alone, but it can really screw up a relationship. Your partner can never approach what is available in the world of porn. It's an endless smorgasboard of unilateral pleasure. Do yourself a favor and just say no before starting down this road.
 
A girl.

There's a girl I've been in love with for a year and a half now. We dated for a year, and then broke up because we weren't treating eachother with much respect at all.

I'm still in love with her. Madly, insanely so. My friends know me as the archetype of rationality, I'm a Vipassana meditator, I eschew most of the pleasures of this world...but god damn. Nothing I can do about this one. She keeps treating me like utter shit and I would take her back in a heartbeat. Breaking up with her (my decision) still haunts me every single day. She truly doesn't deserve me, for a varitey of reasons, but for some reason she'll have me, whenever...if ever she wants me.
 
id abandon my ego. It just gets in the way all the time. Why dont i, well its hard. I have learned to turn it off, but only for so long and then its back on.

I like tater tot's answer but I'm afraid the only ones who accomplished that are those like Buddha & Jesus. So quit grinding your teeth.
AS for me, I always wished I was wiser & more understanding at an earlier age. It took me too long to get out of that black-white problem & find the gray.
 
I want to abandon the way I am metiphorically burning my wings. I want to keep my innocence and morals, maintain my goodness, but I feel I am slipping into, onto something else entirely. Failing at that, I want to isolate and keep a part of my old self alive.
 
breathing.no matter what i do i just cant break the habit
