SMOKING and your little Nicotine Monster

Hello everybody,

Smoking I see is a trending topic, well here are some articles I published last year. I am sharing article 1 with you and leaving a link to Part 2. Hope you enjoy!

Your Nicotine Monster Deal With Him and Quit Smoking – Part 1

Smoking was a socially accepted norm around the world during the 1980s, and advertising different brands of cigarettes made a lot of money for the marketing companies. Cigarette sales soared, and there was no stigma attached to a smoking person.

People could smoke their favorite brand of cigarettes in theaters, airplanes, in shopping malls and restaurants. There were no banned places, it was a free pastime for many people, who never understood the addiction and the damage smoking could cause.

Over the years, governments have allowed research to investigate the positive and negative effects of smoking, and through the years, some disturbing statistics were discovered. This led to the banning of cigarette advertising and year after year, stricter controls were implemented. Smoking in public places became a no-go for the puffers and soon it has become difficult to light up anywhere. Smoking has been banned in restaurants, airplanes, malls and other places. Some cities have implemented a non-smoking policy and this has caused millions of people to give up the habit.

There are plenty of methods claimed to work and help you quit smoking. As people begin to realize that it is now socially unacceptable to smoke, they try to eliminate the unhealthy addiction and give up smoking, often spending large amounts of money on systems that do not work. There are chewing gums, patches, electronic cigarettes, tables and other methods all tried by individuals and indeed some have succeeded.

Now there is a method that will cost you nothing but perseverance. Follow the recommendations and remember the most basic requirement is why you are giving up smoking. Do not stop smoking if you are doing it for your family, your work, your friends, you will not succeed. Quit smoking because you want to, that is the beginning of becoming a non-smoker.

It’s truth time and the first step towards successfully quitting is to identify the physical addiction and mental dependency of smoking. We will deal with the physical withdrawal first. Nicotine is a drug and a smoker is addicted to this substance- realize that and then we can start the process of elimination of the drug from the body.

Imagine deep down in your belly you have a little nicotine monster, he is ugly, all green and hairy, perhaps with sticky hands and a nasty mouth. Imagine this nicotine monster dwelling inside of your stomach and he only survives from the inhalation of cigarette smoke. Now you have your monster and you have your packs of cigarettes and your lighter. Throw the cigarettes and lighter away; because you do not want them anymore and do not deceive yourself by keeping a pack hidden away. Get rid of all the cigarettes, lighters and matches. Do it now. Wonderful, you have taken your first step to becoming a non-smoker!

Did you see your nicotine monster slump over and cry out to you not to do that? Well you have just started the elimination process of the nicotine monster. Within the next hour or so, your little monster will jump up and down and call out to you to light up, well don’t, tell him that you are quitting, and that is the end of the story. Yes, the withdrawal symptoms he will create are real; you will feel jittery and even aggressive and wonder why you did this. Remember your only cost is perseverance. Get up, take a short walk, have a glass of water, and if you still feel flustered suck on a straw. The feeling will soon pass. If you start to crave food, then have something to eat, but keep it healthy. You do not want to gain too much weight.

Now continue to be strong, it’s only day one. Keep telling your little nicotine monster that you are not lighting up. Watch him slither in pain, crying out to you, begging you to give him some nicotine. Do not succumb to him; you have to be in charge of your body. Over the next few days, it gets better, and after the fourth day you will see your nicotine monster die, he cannot survive your perseverance. Well done, you have succeeded to eliminate the nicotine from your body. Now you have to deal with the mental habit of not smoking.

That is part one, now go and read the ending in part 2.

JULIUS MALEMA A CHARISMATIC SOUTH AFRICAN

Hello Everybody,

Julius Malema, we either hate him or love him, and he is such a charismatic person, I did an story about this dynamic man, (if I can call him that). Here is the link to the article published on the Guardian Liberty Voice.

Julius Malema article link


Anyway, I received some tweets regarding this article and some people are angry, racist and practically unwavering in their protection for the infamous Julius Malema. What can I say, we are supposed to be a democratic society and freedom of speech is a pleasure for us.

I am sharing some of the tweets with you. Enjoy!!

Can any sane person tell me why people want to live in a radical communistic state. My mind cannot comprehend the reason for living a life of obscurity, distress and limitation.

We are in the 20th centrury and have learned that communism does not WORK, it is a stressfull life for the people who are like sheep following a blind leader. Going around in circles and not making progress. Isolation is horrible, we only have to remember North Korea and the suffering there.
My argument would be that EDUCATION is the key to successful change. I don’t want to live in doom and gloom.

Take care,
Laura

Find Joy in the Lord

Hello everybody,


Read Psalm 37: 3-5

"Find joy in the Lord....."


An entomologist and his friends walked down a busy street. Suddenly the doctor began walking faster and turned around to his friends who stepped up their pace to keep up with him. “Listen!” He said, and his friends only heard the roar of the passing traffic. They told him all they heard was the traffic, but the doctor also told them to listen. Unsure of what they were supposed to hear they waited. The doctor bent over and under a stone, was a cricket.
“How did you hear the sound from the cricket?” A friend enquired.
“Everyone hears with his heart and more so when it is beneficial to him” The doctor said.

We must have a desire to hear what is important in our lives, and continually ask the Lord to make our hearing sensitive to his voice.



Many years ago I started writing a series of inspirational quotes and short stories. Today, I was browsing through these notes and decided to share some. I have a pretty good selection now and should actually assemble into a book. One Day soon I hope.

All the best,
Your friend,
Laura

Inspired to move forward

Hello Everybody,

Have you ever had the opportunity to meet incredible people and become inspired to greater things?
I want to say, this morning was an inspirational blessing for me. I had the opportunity of meeting a woman, Edna Frienkel. The lady behind the Readucate Trust. Edna is truly an inspiration to old and young. She is in her late 70's and has the most amazing memory. A mind that is full of compassion and spills out blessings to everybody she comes into contact with.
I had the opportunity of attending one of her lectures at a local school and this was totally awesome, not only does she take the podium with confidence; she radiates warmth and understanding of her greatest passion. She is the mastermind behind the importance of reading, yes reading! Her program does have potential to extend to the uneducated and ignorant people of this country.
She had done a tremendous work in the education field for most of her life and passionately continues to assist and help needy, ignorant and dysfunctional people.
Such a wonderful person and I feel blessed to have had this opportunity.
I will be in constant contact with this fine lady and I can honestly say she is one of those rare people who make a huge impact on life's journey.
At this meeting both of my novels in the Anglurian series was received with a warm reception and there is the potential to incorporate these stories into the education sphere. I am quite excited and inspired to get back to completing the third book soon.

If you want to read more about the READUCATE TRUST, here is the link.

All the best.

Cannabis Making you Potty and the quest for the truth in the Boeremag Trial

Hello Everybody,


Cannabis Is Smoking the Pot Called Going Potty

Cannabis (marijuana) has medication properties. The problem arises when smoking the pot causes a person to go potty. Planting the seed for legal weed can go horribly wrong due to uncontrolled substances.

Want to read more, check out the article on the Hub Pages.

Here is the link

Cannabis Can smoking the Pot make you Potty

So whether the legal weed can make you potty or not, check out the You tube video in the article.
And from smoking the pot let me give you some other updates.


This week another few articles have been published on the Guardian Liberty Voice. I am continuing my quest to find some truths under the pile of lies and deceit. The failing democracy of South Africa is serious and only the truth will make a difference.
Forceful Brutality From South African Police Services

Link Forceful Brutality From South African Police Services

This article looks at incidents of the brutality of the South African Police force. Yes they are a force unto themselves.
Of course looking at the Police services in the next article displays the arrogant manner and chaos within this division.

South Africa: Police Services Spotlight a Failing Democracy

Link South Africa: Police Services Spotlight a Failing Democracy


Then the last published article focuses on the South African Defense Force and how this organisation contributes to the failing democracy of the country.

South Africa Defense Forces in a Failing Democracy

Link South Africa Defense Forces in a Failing Democracy


I have completed a few more articles and they should be published soon.

I must add that the article I did on the Boeremag caused me to connect with some incredible people and I have so much more to tell. I am going to focus on the untold story of some of the people involved. There are questions that remain unanswered and I will try and piece together some of the information I have gathered.

Well I do wish you all a pleasant week, filled with everything good.

Your friend,
Laura
