I am not Catholic, but the idea of giving up a vice for a month and a half to be closer to God seems like a good idea.
Last year I gave up cheeseburgers. I made it all the way till Easter, then had one for breakfast.
Nothing.
I lent my neighbor some flour, and got some cookies in return.

That's good lenting.
I gave up smoking about a week and a half ago...that's all I'm willing to do for the moment.

How's that going? You have support from me; I gave it up about 2 years ago and sure glad I did. If you can make it 10 days there's a 50 percent better chance you'll stay off the sticks for good.
Good luck.

Thanks Hoss. It's going. It's a crazy thing, since I've quit I have less of an urge to go to a bar after work. Guess the dogs at home appreciate that.
I keep seeing lighters around the house and think to myself "Don't need that much anymore".
I thought about giving up beer for Lent, but then I remembered the quote from Ben Franklin:
"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
So I'm going to give up being unhappy for Lent.

Stick with it. I'm 14 months nicotine-free and loving not being a slave to it any more.
I tried to give up quitting, but I didn't make it.
I usually drink vodka. Guess I'll give that up & start drinking gin. And give up the Marshall's Pub Ale for the IPA.
Anything for Jesus or Mary or whomever!!
As a Luthern we can eat anything during Lent, but we should avoid all meat on Good Friday. I'm planning on doing a 10-mile Easter Bunny run, I believe the race is on Easter Saturday at 7:45am, but not sure, it may be the Saturday before Easter.[:)]
This year, I'm giving up ice cream.
I'll also be eating fish on Fridays.
Fwiw, I'm not Catholic or even particularly Christian.

Now you're just a slave to Eric Marshall's joyful elixir.
i'm giving up religion for lent!
I was thinking about giving up lentils for Lent, but then I thought it might be more effective to give up Catholicism.

Yeah, but last I checked Eric Marshall's brews don't kill you of cancer...

Wow, that looks a little like a fat Gillian Anderson in green make-up. Couldn't you have done a little better than that? Maybe Rebecca Romijn in the X-Men?

I also saw a guy at the hockey game wearing a Marshall Brewery hockey sweater and found out he's sponsoring a Men's League team that a buddy of mine plays on. Pretty nifty sweaters.
See what kind acts of perversion rwarn got us off into now????

Perversion? [;)]
I was looking for an antidote to the green monster. Now, I don't want to run afoul of the moderators, so I'll just tel the fine folks here to google image "full body paint." This is a good day.

I've given up being nice to people. Everybody'd better watch out for the next 40 days.
