Why will NK need to lie about their numbers?

I hate this “hit and run” comments from turbo libs/fascists like “Ibuthyr”. Beside being an embarrassing comment, it adds nothing to the discussion.

Yes, the USSR was illegally dissolved and this was done against the wishes of their citizens that voted years prior against it.

Nice! I wish you success and hope you can find something stable that could relieve you from stress. Stress tends to be the strongest trigger for bad habits and also a good opportunity for good ones as well.

Not sure what you have tried so far but it certainly helps to have a group of friends that could help you get into any sports. Using sports as an excuse to stop you from mentally conceding to drinking works for a ton of people.

Example: I have friends who used to jog with a group or go cycling in the morning. If they ever go out, they will use sports as a reason to say no and leave early. Some others just go to boxing classes or the gym in the afternoons.

What really will work for you is to replace drinking with something else as an escape for stress. Having ways to relief stress is important.
