Well done for getting rid of them, that's a very strong thing to do. Is there anyone you would feel comfortable talking to about it? Someone who might be able to help you say 'no' in certain...

It's never too late, just hang onto that. What you have done (or do) is not the whole of who you are. There are ways of changing, and that is a great example to set your children - you can face up to...
