As we all know, nothing and no one are perfect in life. I say this because some people can get caught up trying to achieve a version of themselves that doesn't exist. That being said, we are all made up of bad habits. Our bad habits can range from something as small as not sleeping to something as big as a drug addiction. We have habits because we constantly are doing the same thing. More often than not, our worst habits are the thing we love the most.

In "The Heroin Diaries", Nikki Sixx has published the diaries that he wrote during his drug abuse. I noticed that in the diary entries, Nikki Sixx mentioned more than once that heroin was more of a lover than any other drug he used. "One could say that I've been having a 10cc love affair...my mistress is so seductive." (p.47) If this was the case for Nikki, why can't it be the case for anybody else with a bad habit.

Like I said before, habits, whether good or bad, are something that we love. I know I certainly have an unhealthy obsession with chocolate. Maybe our bad habits are just as seductive to us, as heroin was to Nikki Sixx.

While it is that case that some bad habits are worse than others, that doesn't change the fact that those habits could be hindering all of us from what we want and need to do. Nikki Sixx knew this and was able to overcome his problem while many others couldn't. This is proof that in the end, it will be up to us to give up the thing that we "love" the most.
