[ # ] Addiction counseling - useless or useful?
August 3rd, 2007 under Totally Useless, Useless opinions, Useless rants

Today I finally decided to do a search about debt and credit counseling that is available in the area where we live. The thing is that a dear friend of mine is unable to cut the credit card usage and whatever she has tried until now has resulted in even more debt. The books and courses that she purchased, have not helped her even a bit, and I feel like she is as addicted on credit card spending as I am addicted on smoking. I tried counseling to get rid of my smoking habit - but guess what - it did not make me quit.

I only spent the money and my time, and for the rest I keep smoking while knowing how bad it is for me. And I spent on books, and DVD’s and whatnot without success.
Sometime I feel jealous of the once among us that are able to quit smoking in a second. The moment that they decide to quit - they simply do it, and never look back. This however is the exception rather than the rule. How can any of us quit their addiction, be it a smoking addiction, or credit card spending addiction without feeling a loser? We have been programmed to get addicted, believe it or not - it is the truth. And some of us are more susceptible than others.

Again and again I watched the movie that made me wake up, and the more I see it the angrier, I get. And the angrier that I get - the more people should be called to wake up from their deep sleep. From the state of being a “sheep”, and to believe everything that is told by their “Shepard”. Wake up people and go to see the movie. Do not mis even a second of it, and watch it again. And again. And I would appreciate your thoughts after having seen it. The info is there for free, and you have nothing to buy or to pay for. This is not a sales pitch, and I am not trying to convert you in any way. Thank you and have a great day. Talk to you soon.
