Changing Bad Habits

Changing bad habits is hard but when you become a truck driver you have half of the battle won if your bad habits were link to an environment or activity you left behind. You now have the time and freedom from pressure of your friends to focus on other habits you were thinking about changing. The biggest challenge will be not to pick up new bad habits from the road!

Simply make a conscious effort to not expose yourself to some of the temptations out here on the road. Its easier to avoid things altogether than to try it just to see how it is thinking you will break away from it later. How do you think so many people get stuck with bad habits. They thought they were going to try it, whatever it is one time and they been doing it every since.

Some things to stay away from are . . .

The convenience of fast food. When you come on the road you want to start off with your own supply of stuff from Walmart so that you will develop that habit of preparing your own food instead of it being a habit of eating at the truck stop every day all day. You end up spending most of the money you make and gaining a lot of fat weight eating out of the truck stop.

Drugs for recreation You will hear people on the radio some place like Memphis Tn.(I think he's a cop anyway) Never take a chance at trying drugs to have a good time. Learn to enjoy what life has to offer with depending on drugs or alcohol. If that is a temptation for you then make it a habit not to park places that you will learn are likely to present that challenge to you.

Lot Lizards are still roaming around at some truck stops but not many. It's usually just at the same places. Why would you take the risk of taking a disease home to your wife or girlfriend for an 1 or so of pleasure. It's not worth it. If they are roaming around the parking lot, they probably haven't bathed and they are likely to be drug users which means they are even more likely to be carrying some type of disease.

If that isn't enough to keep you away. Drivers have gotten robbed by the girls and they have gotten robbed by the girls accomplices after the girl gets in the truck.

If that isn't enough for you big truck drivers and their trucks have been often get impounded by the police department when a lot lizard is caught in your truck.

Again, if that is a particular temptation for you. Avoid even stopping at places they frequent.
