You know that you will use this to justify playing poker. <BR/><BR/>I know for a fact that it is not possible to give up an addiction if you don't really want to. <BR/><BR/>I suggest that you find a better compromise with your wife if it is not possible for you to give up. <BR/><BR/>Once a month will not satisfy you and your missus will get pissed off <BR/>when you fall off the wagon.<BR/><BR/>I suggest you negotiate one poker evening a week and stick to that religiously.<BR/><BR/>If you can successfully stick with that then I doubt your good lady will be too concerned and you will have 6 evenings a week to spend with your family.<BR/><BR/>Sorry if that sounds a bit preachy but it is meant with the best of intentions.<BR/><BR/>All the best mate.Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173549831670025179.post-39129931289349162922008-06-17T14:12:00.000-07:002008-06-17T14:12:00.000-07:00LOL, Cheers Kev It will be our secret!

But 1 game a month IMO is a bit sparse even considering your previous dilema. I mean peeps who play any other sport/game do so at least once a week. Please don't tell Karen I made this comment as I don't want to get into trouble lol. Good luck.<BR/><BR/>Kev B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173549831670025179.post-78682099947008505752008-06-14T09:36:00.000-07:002008-06-14T09:36:00.000-07:00Cheers Rage, thanks for taking the time to post. Nothing would give me more pleasure than sitting at the table with your good self. I just hope one day I regain the correct perspective on all things poker. <BR/><BR/>Cheers KevKevin Stevenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03685850475214041982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173549831670025179.post-35054071860157768762008-06-14T05:17:00.000-07:002008-06-14T05:17:00.000-07:00Hi Kevin. Glad things are working out for you in poker and in life.<BR/> It was very courageous of you to publicly admit you had a bit of a problem with the excessive keyboard bashing.<BR/> Anyway kevin, i think you were spot on. poker is a great game, but it's just a game. Your family have always got to come first.<BR/> Just wanted to wish you and the family all the best for the future. You're a genuinely funny and nice bloke Kev and i do hope we can bump into each other once in a while for a friendly game of poker.<BR/> Look after yourself mate.<BR/> All The Best-RageThe Ragenoreply@blogger.com
