How do you control the urge to do something that you know is bad for either you, your health, your soul, society, or people around you...anything that is just considered "bad?"

As corny as it seems, I think about how whatever I do will affect me in the future.
And that keeps me from doing half of the things I think about =)

Since we live in a world that one thing leads to another .. you may wanna cut down on the things lead you to doing bad ... for example:
Drinking can lead to many things . .Killing someone .. having unwanted sex .. saying something you would never say if you were sober. If going to the club leads you to getting drunk than I would say dont go ... If hanging out with person A leads you to go to the club .. then dont hang out with person A ... If being in a Place X leads you to crossing paths with Person A then dont go to Place X.
PLACE X LEADS TO PERSON A
PERSON A LEADS TO CLUB
CLUB LEADS TO DRUNK
DRUNK LEADS TO:
A) Unwanted Sex (in this case you get AIDS)
B) Revealing a secret about your self.
C) Murdering someone and end up in jail
One thing leads to another .. draw the line where its safe
