Hi, well, as far as I know, when you talk about your past habits (something that you did and you don't anymore), just use: either "I used to" or "I would" (you can use both if the following verb is an active verb but only the former if it is a state verb). Hope it helps (and, of course, please correct me if I've made a mistake)
