Habits, especially life long habits are difficult to give up.
BUT
I gave up smoking after 30 years, because I gave my word to my daughter to do so, if her soccer team = which I coached at the time - won an international tournament. Well, they did it in 1984 in the WAGS tournament in D,C. and I did.
I assured my son that I would quit drinking hard liquor if he never starts, and I did.
I never gave up anything for political reasons. Nor have I heard of anyone who did.
