Giving up something can be difficult. Whether it be a bad habit, a bad relationship or just something you love that you over indulge in, it requires major self-control and discipline. Last month I participated in a religious observance known as
Lent which is a time where we fast for forty days prior to Easter. Lent is a special time of prayer, penance, sacrifice and good works in preparation of the celebration of Easter. You are to sacrifice something during this time that you take pleasure in. This year I was going through a tough time in my life. I was partaking in a lot of activities that involved partying and alcohol in hopes of comfort. I decided that for Lent I would give up drinking. This included liquor, beer, wine, wine coolers etc. Any types of spirited beverages would be forbidden! It takes 30 days to break a habit, was I able to do it?
