Sadly, most knew how to quit smoking. The lesson they failed to master was how to stay quit. It is called the "Law of Addiction" and not self-discovering or being taught this law is a horrible reason to die.

In my talks and workshops I like to emphasize that we are all in recovery from something. Most of us are - or should be - in recovery from living in the fast lane. I would submit that our fast-paced lives are, in fact, a manifestation of our addiction to the rush of our own adrenalin. |

One program that has been shown conclusively to aid alcoholics in achieving
and maintaining sobriety is AA, which has spiritual components including
invocation of a higher power. The new study, however, shows that the

Do you sometimes feel like you're an unwilling victim of your past?
In my own life, having had my fair share of traumatic events take place, I still sometimes think, "Life has taught me some harsh lessons, and my scars do not heal easily." When I find myself thinking like this it usually means I've fallen into believing, "It's 'only natural' that traumatic experiences will lead to suffering in the future." You have to admit, such a quagmire of reasoning can be easy to get caught up in! |
