Definitely. It does take a lot of willpower to beat urges like that... but it does get easier, once you get into a pattern of fighting them. Set backs - of course. Inevitable. But keep on keeping on, mate.

Jack's comment is one I relate to as well! I think my "they can do what they want, but I'll still be here" attitude that I have at times has kept me alive. I owe it a lot. Plain obstinance is probably the only thing that I see in myself that I think is good and am grateful for!
