Drac,

Let's hope you're wrong.

On a much much smaller scale, my teeth are full of fillings, due to too many sweets as a kid. I am hoping that if I can put off having anything drastic done now, I can get "new" ones one day when the technology is there. It's nearly there now, but I'm hoping for even better.

Anyway, I realise you were only making a point about denial...
Sorry to go off topic

I'm not sure about that link, Voivod, but one thing I do know: there are very few people who have the insight and the guts to turn their life around. And you need both.

And when life throws up people like myself who did do it, one wonders if it was by self-effort, good fortune, or grace.

Most likely all of the above!

To be honest, I don't even drink now. The only thing I sometimes have is strong -and I mean strong- coffee I used to have it every day, but it seems to be more of a 2-3 times a week thing now. I woke up with a woolly head this morning, so of course I fixed me a big one.
