	LanguageLover  +  93059 Mon, 25 Apr 05 01:24 AM Hi Kingfisher, Here is the definition and an example from the Cobuild. I hope that it helps: Self-denial is the habit of refusing to do or have things that you would like, either because you cannot afford them, or because you believe it is morally good for you not to do them or have them. Should motherhood necessarily mean sacrifice and self-denial? LanguageLover Joined on Fri, Feb 25 2005 Contributing Member 1,507 The similarities among the languages are more than their differences!
