OK first the disclaimer: If you don't observe it and want to criticize please put it in a SEPERATE thread

So I am thinking myself and coming up blank. What are others doing for Lent?

Re: What are you doing for Lent?
A friend of mine would drink no alcohol the whole time.

Another person, who isn't religious, has used it as an excuse to give up different things he was addicted to, like processed sugar, no sweet stuff (outside of say fruit).

In the past I have gone with zero TV. Alcohol is not an issue as I very seldom touch the stuff. Maybe Diet Mt Dew

Yeah, the guy that'd go cold turkey was a "functional" alky.

I say you give up the Dew.

I'm already 0 TV and no soda. Maybe I'll not drink beer the whole time this year. I need to go look up the dates.

Starting Wed eh? It's 40 days correct?

Maybe I'll do that. No beer during Lent.

Always fun to test the willpower.

Oh another, my friend's Dad quits smoking for Lent every year. And as soon as it's over, he starts smoking again. Every year.

I really don't think I have any vices that I need to give up... well other than this board of course. But then what would I do at work? Work?

Dang, it is Wednesday already! I know a lot of you don't touch the stuff...but I do...Opium.

Naaahh, just kidding.

I'm giving up fast food. I know I should just do it anyway, but I really eat out waaaay too much. The area around my apartment is plastered with fast food places, and I give in way too much. Should be pretty easy though, cause when I really set my mind to something I am too stubborn to give in.

Awesome, just don't fall back into that habit after Lent is over.

I go through preparations to not eat at fast food even when I'm traveling. Now, if I do eat it, I feel myself dying.

About the closest I get is a very occasional In 'n Out. (like a couple times a year)
