Kick a habit
Hello there everyone,
Since the topic for this weekend’s class is new year’s resolutions I thought this might be a good expression for you. To kick a habit very simply means to give up on a bad habit.
Example:
I can’t believe I’m still smoking at the age of 45. I don’t know how many times I’ve tried to kick the habit and always seem to fail. This year for sure I’m quitting for good.
I was drinking so heavily last year and I spent so much money in the pub but this year I’ve cut down considerably and I think by the end of this year I’ll have kicked the habit for good.
