Dear Bishwjit,

Hare Krishna!

One can overcome bad habits the same way one got into the bad habit – by repeated practice of a habit. By creating a good habit to replace the bad habit… and to start any good habit one should do something desirable many many times, starting with one time. So then, instead of striving to stop something undesirable, we just leave no time to do that… we crowd it out 🙂 Invite Krishna into your life – chant His Name, associate with the devotees, do service, read Srila Prabhupada’s books, in this way there will be no time for any bad habit, and if some day there is some time, you will spit at the thought of that habit.

Sincerely,
Mahabhagavat Das
