Once a man came to the Prophet and said, "O Prophet, I have many bad habits. Which one of them should I give up first?" He replied, "Give up telling lies first and always speak the truth." The man promised to do so and went home. At night the man was about to go out to steal. Before setting out, he thought for a moment about the promise with the prophet. "If tomorrow the prophet asks me where have I been, what shall I say? Shall I say that I went out stealing? No, I cannot say that. But nor can I lie. If I tell the truth, everyone will start hating me & call me a thief. I would be punished for stealing." So the man decided not to steal that night, & gave up this bad habit. Next day, he felt like drinking wine, when he was about to do so, he thought in the same way & gave up the idea of drinking wine. In this way, whenever the man thought of doing bad, he remembered his promise to tell the truth at all times. One by one, he gave up all his bad habits & became a good Muslim.
