I guess when you abstain, it's fairly easy at first when you're enthusiastic, but at some point the going gets a little tough and you're training yourself to quit as soon as that happens. A thought worth digesting! That’s a really good point.

Or maybe it is right, and could be food for thought. Best regards Elliott Hi there Warren,
