I'm giving up on my chances of winning the NSC Six Nations Competition
I’m giving up worrying about things i can’t change
Judging by the mood the missus seems to be in with me at the moment, probably sex.

I did that around 3 years prior to retirement and it made a hugely positive impact
Not religious so don't need to give up anything!!
My only challenge is it’s only till Easter
Then I can crack on

Not religious but crisps and fizzy drinks for me. Day 1 - I've got past breakfast safely.

Attributed to Reinhold Niebuhr, Lutheran theologian (1892–1971) “ God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
leave out the word “God” and I don’t think you need to be religious to see that this makes sense.
Christianity, for a month.
