What if I’m not Ready to Quit Smoking?

I watched my brother and sister struggle to quit smoking.


I was raised in a non-smoking home and though I had a few relatives who smoked by and large most of my family didn't. However - my younger brother became a two pack a day smoker and smoked till the day he died. Incidentally he died at age 61 - way pre-mature - with every health related problem you can mention. My sister, the youngest of us, is still puffing away, even though she has had double- pneumonia twice, has COPD and is on oxygen 24 hours a day. Do you have any idea just how dangerous it is to smoke around an open oxygen bottle? She has convinced herself that she can’t quit and has given up. How sad!


I was talking to a friend of mine a few years back who smoked and I asked him why he smoked. He told me that he enjoyed it. He enjoyed something that will for sure shorten his life by 10 to 12 years. Something that will destroy his lungs and heart. Something that contributes to all kinds of organ failure (yes that's true), that damages your skin and eyes, and Oh Yes - makes you stink! I forgot - it's also proven to damage a man's virility. As a man, that's reason enough by itself not to smoke!


After you read the above can you still say - "I'm not sure I want to quit smoking?" Of course you want to stop smoking -but you don't think you can! That's the biggest obstacle to overcome. Smoking is an addiction and nicotine is one of the hardest things to give up especially since the tobacco people have tweaked the plants to increase the nicotine content to make sure the hook is well imbedded.


That's what our site is dedicated to - to be YOUR Stop Smoking Source! We offer lots of ways to help you get unhooked and STAY unhooked, that's our goal. But you have to want to quit smoking. That decision is yours and yours alone. But I know you can do it!

Are You Still Smoking? Want To Quit Smoking?

By: Dewey Kearney | 12/06/2009 | Wellness
I don’t believe there is any person reading this who would argue the dangers of smoking or that smoking is addictive. We have tried several ways as a people to discourage cigarette smoking short from a complete smoking ban; from banning it in public buildings to postings a warning on the packs themselves yet still an estimated 45 million Americans are still addicted. Are you one of them? Would you like to stop smoking? My brother was one of these who died from smoking and soon my sister will als

Be Careful What you Throw Away

By: Dewey Kearney | 25/01/2008 | Credit
Everyone at one time or another has either joked about or heard a joke about “Dumpster Diving”. Usually it refers to someone scavenging for food or behind a store to see what they have thrown out. And everyone has heard of someone finding something of real value in the trash. Personally I’ve seen someone on the Antique Road Show showing off a painting they found this way, only to be told it’s worth some extraordinary amount of money. This article is not about that kind of buried treasure but another kind that most people have been guilty of throwing out; the most personal things that contain information about you that in the wrong hands can cause you an awful headache, otherwise known as Identity Theft. Identity theft is the fastest growing crime wave in the United States according to the FBI and the US Postal Service. The US Postal Service says on their site that identity theft from stealing mail from your mailbox is not a big problem but it does happen. So if you have something to mail that contains your SS number or a credit card bill that has your number on it, they recommend that you take it to the Post Office and put it in a secure box.

Building a Credit History

By: Dewey Kearney | 25/01/2008 | Credit
Have you ever applied for a loan and been turned down? I have and I remember my feelings at the time. I was embarrassed, angry, hurt and just plain mad. I had been on my own for several years, always paid my bills on time and felt that somehow I had been severely wronged. Those were the days before credit cards were as easy to get and it was harder to establish credit than now.

Are you Ready for the Next Wave of Identity Theft?

By: Dewey Kearney | 24/01/2008 | Personal Finance
As everyone knows unless you have been asleep like Rip Van Winkle identity theft has become the #1 crime wave in the U.S.A. according to the FBI and the US Postal Service. Now a new fear has raised its head because of the recent federal and the state laws that go into effect on January 1, 2008. For years anyone in the country illegally could (and still can) purchase any type of document on the street from some vendor. These fake documents can range from a Social Security card, drivers license, green card or practically anything else people are willing to pay for.
