Sighs.
what I couldn't say (as my laptop battery died) was that some can quit immediately and others take 2, 5, 10, 20 or more attempts,

No matter if it takes even 100 or 1,000 attempts to quit (or even cut down), never give up, or regard yourself as defeated.

The game's never over until you declare the results as one to your satisfaction. :cool:

Oh, my sides hurt from that, so funny!

When he was up he was up, when he was down he was down, and when he was only half way up he was neither up nor down

Got my mum's stubborness though......:rotfl:

I got my intellect from my dad too, and about half of my temperament too, to the extent that they were different from each other, but physically I'm very like my mum, and my pregnancies and childbirths were very much like hers too.

That's how I feel about people who think I should get more exercise, so I can imagine how you feel. I know I should. I know it would do me good. But I know I haven't got the capacity to do it at this stage in my life, so "they" can leave me alone. When you're ready to do it for your own reasons, PN, we'll all be here to encourage you if you want us to, or you can keep quiet about it if you prefer.

I gave up some while ago but when I was still smoking, now ex husband tried all sorts to force me to give up, the silliest one was growing a beard, saying he would only shave it off when I stopped smoking...he had to shave it off when his boss complained. He looked like a hobo :rotfl:

He just couldn't understand that the more pressure he put on me, the less I wanted to give up, it was like I was rebelling against him. This was despite me saying to him on the night we met "I am a smoker, if you don't like it, then leave now. If you don't mind, then stay but never ever try to make me give up...take me for who I am"

What's odd alcohol...?
I guess you mean unusual to use/difficult to source alcohol?
Can you name it?
