Hi,

I want two separate lists please. One for BAD HABITS 
and the other for ADDICTIONS

Ideally I'd like a few hundred items in each list,
the more you can get the more I will give as a tip
once finished.


1. BAD HABITS:

Please make a list of "bad habits", and please write 
it so it makes sense when read like this:

"Stop X Now!" (whereby "x" would be the word below)

arguing
bulimia
anorexia
being a bad listener
being a know-it-all
being anxious
being critical
being jealous
being lazy
being shy
etc.


2. ADDICTIONS

Also please make a separate list for the addictions 
to make it read like this:

"Addicted to X?" (whereby "x" would be the word below)

caffeine
smoking
gambling
cocaine
television
sleeping pills
etc.


3 OTHERS

If either a bad habit or an addiction can't be listed
like the examples above then please just list them
separately.

of addictions and bad habits). This is for your information
only to help you with ideas. Please include these.
