Everyone's obvious go-to answer is going to be variations of "my family", etc. That's a given, but let's be superficial for a moment here: I can't give up the tv in my bedroom. Hubby hates it, wants it gone, but it's a crutch I need to go to sleep.

marymc says,

Ditto. Have to go to sleep with the TV on, preferably a familiar voice like Leno or Fallon. Hate when we travel and the TV doesn't have a timer/turn off button. Also, black coffee, diet Dr, Pepper, Crown Royal, a hot tub, Chapstick and low-fat peanut butter. God, I'm high maintenance.

I love to read in bed. Reading at night is like a sleeping pill to me. I can't get through a chapter without my eyes closing. Have a special bedlamp on my side so I don't disturb Hubby. I read, he snores!

jl333 says,

I too, have to fall asleep with the TV on. Drives me bonkers when I sleep elsewhere and they don't have a TV in the room. I would find it hard to give up any kind of carbs such as pasta and bread, and we all know that I'd be a bitch if I had to give up jet skiing.

"My" time. Raising two kids on my own, a job that is somewhat hectic, and helping out my mom can rattle a day. So that hour or two a week where I just want to sit and read, veg out to a TV show, or whatever is cherished. I invoked the "rule" -- "if no one is bleeding profusely or the house is not on fire, it's momma's quiet time".

Control of the TV remote control, can't stand it when I can't flip through channels and someone else has it.

Hmm, Diet coke, as much as I know it's poisioning me I just can't seen to give it up.

Dhani says,

A fresh cup of home-brewed JAVA in the morning! I'll break a small stick of cinnamon and add that. Gotta have it...
