If I can give up smoking, anyone can. I was a chain smoker. But one day I just decided that my health was more important and I have not smoked for fifteen years. It is not so hard to give up.

Good luck in the contest.

Oh dear, a vicious circle here and thankfully I don't indulge in either of these vices, but I do enjoyed a nice glass of wine. Addictions can be a curse, a poignant 8 words Amanda, love Dolly x x x
