This is exactly what fuels antibiotic resistance, by not completing your course of antibiotics you allow bacteria a better chance to select mutations that can cope with particular antiobiotics.
By then switching antibiotics and doing the same you are helping breed bacteria resistant to multiple antibiotics - 'superbug' infections.
Antibiotic resistance is a very real and dangerous threat to everyone, 'years' of antibiotic abuse is a gross disservice to future generations who could well be living in a world where a simple playground cut or a winter chill will litterally be the death of them.
