Kicking Bad Habits (Com)

A commission for last_of_workers

Levi has had more than a rough go at life. Due to that, he’s a bit of a mess, he’s got loads of bad habits. He drinks too much which just makes his anger come to the surface and he takes it out on anyone around.

He smokes to relieve stress, which has caused him to develop a frequent cough, all while making him constantly crave more cigarettes. Then he has a ton of minor bad habits, like picking his nose and wiping it on furniture or his clothing.

Uses his clothing as a bib when he’s done eating, not washing himself properly and forgetting to brush his teeth nearly every day, biting his nails, spreading his legs too much when sitting, and even peeing all over the toilet when he tries to aim.

Now all those things only make up a fraction of his problems. He knows full well they’re all a problem and he truly wants to pull himself out of the ditch he found himself in, but it was hard and there was so much he needed to work on.

It also doesn't help that his smoking and drinking are the hardest to quit, and the stress of trying to get rid of one, makes him heavily jump to the other, and every time he just ends up giving up. Well, his friends and family got sick of him and held an intervention.

They unloaded on him about all the things he did that they couldn't take anymore, and they told him that if he couldn't fix these problems, then he could no longer be around them. Levi knew then that this was his last chance or he’d lose everyone he cared about.

So he scoured the internet for help. After a long night of searching, he came across a series of audio cassettes guaranteed to help rid any person of any bad habit and replace it with a good one. Levi decided to try it out.

So he bought the tapes and paid extra to have them delivered the next night so he could use them right away. So like normal he drank himself to sleep, slept into the afternoon the next day, and was woken up by the tapes being delivered.

Levi signed for them and pulled them out. He read the instructions, and they were pretty simple, turn them on before you fall asleep and listen to them throughout the night. Levi put the tape into his stereo in his bedroom and then went about his day.

He stumbled back into his house smelling of smoke and booze and was about to plop onto his bed and pass out, but somehow while super drunk he remembered the tape. He managed to get it playing, then passed out on the floor next to the stereo.

When he woke up in the morning he felt surprisingly good. Instead of feeling like shit and hung over, he was energetic and motivated. Instead of having a shot with his breakfast and standing outside to have a smoke, he decided to go for a run and do some workouts.

He got back, took a shower, and headed to work. He had an amazing day, not once did he think about smoking or having a drink. That night he turned on the tapes and for the first time in years fell asleep while sober.

When he woke up the next morning he once again felt good, and he was starting to notice his body was actually changing a bit. His hair was a bit longer and softer, and he was a bit thinner. He figured it was because he had exercised and went a day without consuming anything deadly to his body.

During his run that morning he noticed it was so much easier to breathe, and he wasn’t coughing anymore. Levi went about his day like he had the day before, showering, working, and coming home. This time, however, instead of eating fast food for dinner, he decided to cook for himself.

He went to the store and picked up the ingredients to make a salad and a package of chicken. He then grilled the chicken and made chicken salad. For the first time in his life, he enjoyed eating a salad instead of a greasy burger.

He cleaned up after himself and went off to bed, yet again playing his tape while he slept. Like the day before he noticed more changes to his body. His waist was so slim it was curving inwards. His gut was completely gone, and he felt a bit shorter.

His hair had also continued to grow, it was now past his neck and touching his upper back. He ran his hands through it and was happy that his body was finally healthy. He had thought about getting it cut but decided to enjoy having long hair for a few days.

 He had the day off, so after his run, he was just going to relax and watch some television, but after his run when he tried to get dressed, he realized his clothes were all either too big, or completely disguising.

So he decided to treat himself. He put on the cleanest most fitting clothes he had and went off to the clothing store. He started to look through things but wasn’t sure what his current size was, so he went to talk to the employees.

There was a guy and a girl, and Levi just asked in general if one of them could help him figure out his sizes. The guy looked at the girl and she nodded. She came out from behind the counter and pulled Levi in the back.

She got a clothing measuring tape and started to take Levi’s measurements. It took about five minutes and once she was done she offered to pick out some cute clothes for Levi to try on. He thanked her and went off to one of the changing rooms.

A few more minutes pass and then the girl hands a bunch of clothes to him. He then takes them inside and grabs the first outfit. He starts putting it on not once thinking about what it was he was putting on.

After it was all on he looked at the mirror, he was a bit confused at what he was seeing. There was a thin girl with long brown hair, wearing a crop top, short shorts, and a thong that went up her waist. Something about it felt off.

Levi grabbed her breasts, perhaps it was the bra, maybe she could get some that would make her breasts look bigger. Levi shrugged, then tried on the rest of the clothes. She ended up spending what she’d normally spend on cigarettes and beer for the entire week all on clothes.

She took them home, washed them, and started to fill her closet with the new clothes while tossing out the old ones. After that, he went and ate another healthy dinner before happily falling asleep to the tape again.

The next morning Levi got up, yawned, and went about her new daily routine. After getting back from her run and showing she got into the same outfit she tried on first the day before. Levi was about to head to work when a few of her family members came over to check on her progress.

She sat on the bed, making sure to keep her legs together and not take up a ton of room. They were really shocked to see how much she’d changed and how healthy she was, although they were still a bit concerned.

Something about her changing in a strange way, or asking her if she was mentally alright. Levi just shot down all their concerns and told them she was better now. She did as they said, she got rid of her bad habits, replaced them with good ones, and is a new wonderful person.

They seemed to accept that and were happy that she wasn't a mess like she was before. They then left, and Levi followed them as she was off to work next. Her coworkers had no idea who she was, and they were shocked when she revealed it was her.

Unlike Levi’s family, they didn’t care that she was a new person, some actually praised her and said they were proud of her, and the others just liked that the asshole drunk they used to work with was gone.

Levi’s life had completely turned around in less than a week thanks to the tapes, and she truly couldn't thank them enough for making her such a happy, healthy, and gorgeous woman. Thanks to them she stopped drinking, smoking, being an asshole, and even got a boyfriend.

She still listens to the tapes every night as well, she doesn’t need them anymore, but it's ironically become a habit. She just hopes that when her boyfriend is sleeping at her house next week while his house is being fumigated, that the tape can help him as much as it helped her.
