A resolution

[Pedaldog.]

Thanks Chris.  I am now in the "Have none left" position and feeling scared but intending to try. I noticed some positive changes in just a few days so I know that I have good things to look forward to.  I think I'll try to not worry too much about the diet, damage limitation for a while, and take smoking as the Main Event to deal with.

...I was just having two or three pints one night at the weekend and possibly a bottle of wine spilt over a couple of nights (Saturday and Sunday usually with Friday being pub night).

You should try drinking it instead!
