Buckle down or take it easy

I would be extremely happy if you can help me.
I have been in debt for the past 12years, paying it almost off, then accumulating more, not much to show for it, the usual story...
However since December I have taken it far more seriously and cut all the unnecessary expenses, like gym etc... And made a really good dent at it.
I have now got the option to buckle down and get it paid off within a year, but basically no social life, holidays etc.. Or I could take it a bit easier and it takes a maximum of two years and I could still have my holidays, social life etc...
My mind says, imagine being debt free in a years time, my heart says you need a break, look after yourself etc etc...
I guess my forum name should give me the answer
What to do???
