We resolve to help you achieve your resolutions

New Year's resolutions. We make 'em, we fail at 'em and, every single year, we try again.

This year, we aim to help you in your quest to better yourself. So here's the deal.

First, write in and tell us about your resolution -- the bad habit you've been doing, how long you've been doing it, and your own ideas about why you've so far not been able to break it and keep your resolution.

We'll take the most frequently mentioned resolutions we receive and ask experts for advice about how to finally make them work. Then, we'll print that advice for the benefit of you and your fellow long-suffering Southern Nevadans.

We'll also have a drawing for a $100 gift card to give participants a little boost in the new year.

Send us a note at: Resolutions, Las Vegas Review-Journal Features Department, P.O. Box 70, Las Vegas, NV 89125-0070. Or, send us an e-mail at spadgett@ reviewjournal.com with the subject line "Resolutions."

In either case, make sure you tell us your name, age, address and daytime phone number and get the info to us by 5 p.m. Dec. 15.

We'll run the advice story in the newspaper and online in January.
