Negative! Yours are great. There are usually several ways to say something. You say it one way, and that reminds me of another way. It doesn't mean that yours are bad and mine are better. They are just different. My posts supplement yours, they do not replace them.

You can also say "to fall into the habit" and "to fall out of the habit". See? Just writing about habits made me think of another way.

In Colombia, I fell into the habit of having breakfast at a certain bakery on the Calle Sexta.
She used to go to a lot of concerts, but she fell out of the habit.
