What are you giving up?


Although I wouldn't consider myself religious right now, I do like the idea of giving up habits for lent, as much as I like indulging in the spirit of giving for Christmas. It's always good to try and wean yourself off things that you're unhealthily attached to-- it helps in spiritually refreshing your life somehow knowing that you have control over your vices.I've split my habits three-ways:

 EXTREME, for my excessive rituals.
 I think I'm leaning more towards sacrificing Doritos and snoozing, although...
 I have half a bag of chips left and I might start after that bag is gone..?  
I could possibly try to sacrifice my caffeine rituals but it will have severe consequences on my sanity and I might turn into more of a serial hibernator, so maybe not.


MEDIOCRE: Not so excessive vices.
I think I have been pretty good with my swearing, I've never felt the need to completely replace my vocabulary with swear words, but I do accidentally let slip a swear word or two sometimes, usually in the kitchen when I'm a hazard to myself.


MINIMAL consists of vices that most people tend to give up for lent.. which ironically is not what I  enjoy doing at all. I'm slowly starting to become a normal human being by occasionally eating meat, though only in the company of friends as I won't cook it solely for my own consumption. I'm a terrible shopper because I hate parting with my money for things, and have very bad tendencies to return splurge items after purchase. Also not a fan of fizzy drinks as they're too sweet and make me bloat, and I'm sure you're all familiar with my sour relationship with alcohol by now. 

What vices are you willing to give up?
