Is it actually possible to break bad habits?

Is it?!

How do you break a bad habit and replace it with a new one? Especially if the new version takes more time and requires more effort…

I’ll give one example (of many embarrassing little bad habits that I have!)…

If there is mess, I will most likely shove it all in ‘the cupboard’ so from the ‘outside’ it looks tidy, when in reality I should just put everything in the correct place and that messy cupboard shouldn’t be a thing.

I don't think so, no.

I believe it's the same with addiction, alcohol etc.

@mackthepony Really? What about all the people in recovery from addiction?
