You sound so dumb saying "Woken is a poor effort to claim his broken brilliance as their own" because WWE legally couldn't use the gimmick "Broken" TNA had the rights to the individual character, but Matt Hardy took TNA to court over the right to own the "Broken" character that he created.

The easiest way to give up an addiction is to replace it with something else. It's not the alcohol, it's just the compulsive action your brain is used to. So every time you feel like drinking alcohol just drink something else that doesn't do any harm to you. It's what my grampa did to give up alcohol years ago and it's the same method I used to give up caffeine. I hope this helps
