If you had to give up something that you like for the rest of life what would be?

I couldn't give up anything.

I couldn't give up anything.

Why not?

Why not?

Well I'm just going to lie surely?

"Yeah take all the cherry coke, I'll never drink it again"


Yeah good point, why are we doing this? If there isn't a pay off I won't do it?

Can't resist things I like, very weak to my desires.

Why Yes?

You could technically lie (I could have said chocolate or alcohol or fizzy drinks for example) but chose not to lie

Same.

Could benefit someone for example. I would hate to give up my phone, but it could benefit me if I did (and) or there might be something that you like but are thinking "yeah I could probably without it or would be willing to give it up".

But you are surely going to choose something that affects you but 'not really'? Even in your example you are talking 1 device out of a selection, (many of which can do the same jobs) if you wanted to 'truly' give something up it would need to be all digital/electronic devices to catch the parts you enjoy rather than a choice of 1 out of 2 devices?

If pushed I'll go for Pork, I genuinely do like it, but v fatty/often low quality and I like other meats more...

...for the rest of your LIFE? I can understand temp abstinence but it seems a bit like a loose/loose otherwise? Phones are useful :P

Yeah, but I still like the device (a lot), that's the point i.e giving up something that you like.

It's the idea you would give it up for life with no tangible reward for 'because' I don't get? (I'm not accepting 'I have so much more free time since all my loved ones couldn't contact me' as a benefit btw :P )

I don't like calling or texting people in general.

After years of call centre work and a decade+ on phone anxiety I can pretty much relate tbh...

But if you were to say 'no more mobile phone for life' that would be a huge impact, and despite alternatives you would miss out on so so much even besides the net browsing.

One of my electronic devices (phone or tablet) for me.

I’d give up all my happiness to keep that one special person in my life happy.
