Fellow Australians. How important to you is self control?

I had anger problems many years ago caused by PTSD, very little self control, I sought help after my marriage broke down and I saw how my behaviour had affected my children, I haven't had a relapse in over 40 years, I had different exercises I had to do and they worked, my self control now is excellent, lack of self control can destroy you and the people around you.

Australians are not familiar with self-control. Racist remarks, punch drunk outbursts, foul language. Theses are the hallmarks of being Australian. Why would they give that up? Why would they want to be like people who are likeable and more genteel? An Australian with true self-control is like a fart with no odour: one does not exist.

If you have no self control, you will end up being out of control

Self control is crucial to societal cohesion.

this is not just for australians, everyone should try to live a healthy, happy and positive life.

Speaking asa person with several serious health problems I have had it thrust upon me, whether for the good or bad.One always needs a certain amount of self control.

I seem to be the only one in my household with any self control. I actively pursue it and don't find it onerous at all. It fits nicely with trying to live lightly on this planet and once you've done it for a while it self-perpetuates.

i have a lot of self control when drinking

i stop when i fall down & cant get back up to get another one

PS

i also stop swearing about 5 min after that

It's very important. I save myself from a spinal injury by not coming in here often, shaking my head at the right-wing bogan trash.
