Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Why And How To Stop Smoking

By Zeynel Bakema


Do you want to learn how to stop smoking cigarettes? How frequently have you declared to yourself or somebody else, "I really need to give up cigarettes," only to do a flip-flop and smoke yet another cigarette? In the event that you are similar to many cigarette smokers, your answer will be: "A great deal more times than I am comfortable with." You are certainly not alone. Research shows that about 90% of current smokers have a desire to kick their smoking addiction. The lucky reality is: By putting forth a little bit of effort and a lot of devotion, anyone could ultimately figure out how to stop smoking cigarettes and lead a more healthy life as a recovering smoker. If you are dead set on quitting, here is a complete quit smoking plan to help you kick your nicotine addiction to the curb and stop smoking cigarettes forever.[]

I don't believe that these campaigns even help to prevent youngsters from starting to smoke either, every youngster knows that one experimental cigarette won't get them hooked, and when they light it up and see how bad it tastes, they further believe they aren't going to get hooked, so it is OK for them to smoke a few more experimental ones. No, the real reason to stop smoking, is because anybody who smokes has fallen victim to the biggest and most powerful trap that man and nature ever conspired together to create. The nicotine trap. We are brainwashed from an early age into believing that cigarettes are precious and give immense pleasure, and that this is where the addiction comes from. A dying man in a movie is always given a cigarette, the last request of a doomed man is for a cigarette. Our conscious minds might not notice the message, but our subconscious takes it in.

Furthermore, we are always reminded how difficult quitting is, how reliant our body is on cigarettes. The thought that our body can be reliant on anything but water, food and sleep, is a strange thought to me. This is how confusing the message has got.In truth, if you are smoking, you are just putting a poison into your body, a very addictive one at that, and the pleasure DOES NOT COME until you extinguish that cigarette, forcing the nicotine to rapidly leave your body and your brain to begin to crave nicotine, which in turn makes you light up another one, and there is the pleasure, the relief at ending the cravings.

You didn't enjoy your first cigarette did you? The more you smoked, the more pleasurable smoking seemed to be, why was that?Simply because the more established the circle of craving became, the more you thought you enjoyed smoking, but you were in fact just ending cravings.So why quit smoking? Because there is nothing to quit. Why put something that is terrible into your body, once you have realised it is doing nothing? why pay through your nose to poison yourself when there are no advantages at all? Does it make sense? The question is not WHY quit smoking, but WHY KEEP SMOKING? As for the HOW to quit smoking, that is simple to. Just stop smoking. Read Allen Carr's book for more information if you do not believe what I am saying here, because everything I have learned came from him, and I failed to quit so many times until I read his book.

You really have been brainwashed. Question everything you think you know about smoking, see a cigarette for what it really is. NOTHING.Virtually every smoker in the world would pay a good price for the answer to "how to quit smoking easily". Whilst studies have indicated that as many as 80% of smokers yearn to quit, unfortunately, they spend very little time or money on trying to quit.

Internet search engine data suggests that quit smoking information is searched for more than twice as much during the 4-week period around New Year. The sad fact of the matter is that most smokers have a look for information and end up reading the same tired old advice about how to quit smoking - and that it isn't easy. Unfortunately, most of this information is based on why they should quit smoking. They then fail to quit smoking and leave it another year before having another go.

Apart from the element of 'saving face,' chances are high that you will enhance your degree of support by bordering on an ex nicotine user who comprehends the great importance of your recovery. Having non-smoking buddies, kin, and colleagues with whom to hang out without the presence of cigarettes will prove to be an invaluable tool in your plan of recovery.How to Stop Smoking Cigarettes Step 5: Plan Your Alternative Actions.Beginning recovery from smoking addiction is significantly about coming up with something else in which to engage besides cigarette smoking. Identifying the difference between self-promoting contrary actions and health damaging alternative actions will save you from 'replacing addictive habits' while applying improvements in your life that will bring about your overall contentment living life as an ex nicotine user.

Secondly, if you want to know how to quit smoking easily, telling you that you are killing yourself smoking is not going to make it any easier. Of course all smokers these days know that they are doing harm to themselves - that is why they all want to quit smoking. The "health police" go around reminding smokers that they are doing all this harm to themselves does not help them quit smoking.In fact, it doesn't help smokers in any way quit smoking by telling them what damage they are doing to themselves. The only way to help someone in such a predicament is to tell him or her HOW to quit smoking. After all, every smoker in the world knows WHY he or she should quit smoking. The 'health police' never seem to have an answer for this.

Thirdly, if you want to know how to quit smoking easily, you have to change your attitude towards cigarettes. That is all done in your head - by changing the way you think about cigarettes. Taking pills or taking more nicotine in another form does not do it - changing your mindset does.I know people who have said they will quit smoking cigarettes and only 'have a cigar or two once in a while'. Within a couple of weeks of giving up cigarettes, they are smoking 10 cigars a day that probably do more damage than the 20 cigarettes they used to smoke. This is because they are addicted to nicotine and will get it in any form they can Fourthly, possibly the most important means of how to quit smoking easily, is to accept your life without cigarettes. After all, you weren't puffing away on a Marlboro when you were born. It just might be possible to spend the rest of your life without cigarettes.As ever, my final piece of advice is to never quit trying to quit smoking.
