I have to agree with the not giving up at New Year resolutions.I know of very few people who have managed to change anything at that time of year especially if it's a miserable winter and to give up an ingrained habit of many years must seem a hundred times harder than say in the Spring or Summer.
However good luck Mr A.I'm rooting for you and everyone else who has given up.Even my husband whom has made himself ill through his habit.He's given up three times now the longest being 2 years..He's trying again now because he is in such pain from blocked veins in his legs.
