If however you merely profess that a certain thing should be done or that something is wrong to do, but agree that is something that you may have had trouble with yourself, that just makes you a human who has given thought to morality, ethics and your own frailties. Just because we can't always live up to our ideals doesn't mean we should give up on them and accept a less lofty position.
I'll give you an example: My husband's sister spent her teens and twenties drunk, on drugs and whoring around. She refuses to tell her kids that doing these things is wrong because "she would feel like a hypocrite". Well guess what? All of her daughters are currently drunk, whoring druggies. She just tells them to "be careful", whatever the hell that means. She should have told them that she did it, regrets it and here is a list of the horrible pitfalls that she was lucky to have survived.
