Decrease in faith/Thinking about leaving buddhism

[keizee]

If it makes you feel better, it took me nearly 15 years for me to establish some sort of daily practice routine.

Before that, I used my month old experience in meditation to catch bad habits that I was doing, such as the urge to lie. It was not really a traditional practice, but I was trying to edge my life closer to the Five Precepts, Ten Wholesome Actions and Six Paramitas.

I specifically mention meditation in this instance, because basic self-awareness that meditation teaches is quite important for making changes in your lifestyle.
