Pornography can create monsters. If you don't believe me, just watch the news and I am sure you will be convinced. Rapes happen everyday, kids are sexual molested and families are destroyed, and the number one to blame is pornography.
Pornography affects people in many ways, and I'll be talking about 3 domains...

“Keep coming back, it works if you work it!” This is what is chanted at the end of every meeting, but what if you have “worked it” and you still keep going back and getting drunk or loaded? Now, most people in the program will say things like, “Well, you must not have really done the steps right,” or  “You didn’t go to enough meetings,” or  “You didn’t pray to your Higher Power,” or  “You know...

Contrary to what you may have heard alcohol addiction is not an incurable brain disease. In fact, it is not a disease at all! But, for decades people have believed that alcohol addiction is a disease. Most psychologists, counselors, specialists and recovery groups today still believe that alcohol addiction is an incurable disease that must be managed for a lifetime, and that "there is no complete cure to stop drinking alcohol!” However, alcohol addiction is not a...

Have you quit drinking, smoking or binge-eating and then fallen “off the wagon?” Maybe it’s because you haven’t had the kind of support system you need after you quit?

I quit drinking over 21 years ago now. A friend of mine just asked me the other day if I ever think of drinking anymore. So I gave her my honest answer. “No, I never think about drinking again and I know I’ll never drink again.”  Then she asked the same about...

How to quit smoking marijuana is not an easy question to answer with a list of pointers and handy hints (though I have written enough of those as well) because the reasons people become addicted to marijuana is a mixed bag of problems in their life that creates a need to escape, zone out or even be more social if they have a group of friends that smoke. In the end smoking weed is about getting high to get away from something and when we become addicted to that high and you feel you NEED...

Many people who start on the path to quitting marijuana experience strange and vivid dreams. Some say they are just very weird and nonsensical and other describe them as nightmares but the common element that many who experience such dreaming soon after they have stopped smoking pot is the clarity and vividity of such dreams which has surprised and often scared them.

I was thinking on this and wondering if it has to do with marijuana and it’s effect on memory. Many...

A lot of people ask me how to stop smoking marijuana and how I did it. It is always challenging to break a habit, no matter what that habit is and marijuana is no different. Quitting isn't easy, trust me! I smoked pot heavily for years and quitting was one of the most challenging things I have ever done.


Unlike many other drugs such as cocaine and heroin, marijuana does not have any physical addiction properties. The addiction is purely psychological and as such it is...

Smoking has become the affliction of a large magnitude of people and others seem to be joining the smoke bandwagon at an alarming rate. Smoking has become a very common sight with one out of every fifth person being a smoker. The trend of smoking has become very common among teenagers also. The problems one gets due to smoking are many, but they do not seem to encourage people to stop smoking or deter people for starting to smoke. The hazardous effects of smoking are many, but people do...

1. Don't hang around people and places where you might be tempted to drink. Stop going to the bars where you used to drink and stop associating with people who will pressure you to drink.

2. Go through your cabinets and throw away every single bottle of alcohol. If you have a spouse or roommate who drinks alcohol, kindly ask if they could drink when you're not around.

3. Take it one day, one second, or even one hour at a time.

4. Advertise it to the...
