God Is Great

have an absolutely good day in church right until i crossed the street to meet my parents. Feeling angry, feeling down and worried.. but i did not have the courage to speak out. It's been days that im perturbed about this matter. which is, Health.

Dad can't get rid of smoking. Everytime he sucks the cigarette, I will always imagine that how the carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, heavy metals and harmful particles absorbed in alveolus of his lungs. Look at this picture,don't u have the feeling that u should actually stop?





come on, you're a man. you can surely overcome it. Though it might be the HARDEST thing for u to be done, but i know you can. you must have strong commitment to quit smoking so tat you can achieve your goal. we will always support you :(

I've searched some information in the internet..

Each year, over 430,000 people die as a result of a smoking related disease. Yet, over 50 million continue to smoke. Cigarette smoking leads to 87% of lung cancers, emphysema and chronic bronchitis. And you, you've possessed the risk.

"Quitting is a frustrating and difficult proposition for these people who despite the knowledge that they are seriously harming their bodies. Addiction to nicotine causes very uncomfortable symptoms of withdrawal. Irritation, agitation and anxiety as well as loss of concentration, sleep disturbances, headaches, coughing and cravings"

I understand all these, but why there are cases that they succeed in quitting smoking? eg, 4 suk. Why? He told me, once you've stop smoking for a week, you're free for your entire life. During the week, you must not have any contact with friends who smoke around you! I was like. really? why don't u try? and i've found hope in the midst of darkness...

Anyway, tips given in the internet will be useful for you. I've been talking about this problem with bibi and mummy, but everybody has no courage to urge u to quit. Cause we understand that its difficult for u to resist. and bi told me, to continue pray so that u will quit.




nicotine is a powerful addiction. If you have tried to quit, you know how hard it can be. People who are trying to quit smoking go through both physical and psychological withdrawal. Here are some tips for quitting.

Cravings:
Drink a lot of liquids, especially water. Try herbal teas or fruit juices. Limit coffee, soft drinks, and alcohol - they can increase your urge to smoke.


Avoid sugar and fatty food. Try low-calorie foods for snacking - carrots and other vegetables, sugarless gum, air-popped popcorn, or low-fat cottage cheese. Don't skip meals.

Exercise regularly and moderately. Regular exercise helps. Joining an exercise group provides a healthy activity and a new routine.

Get more sleep. Try to go to sleep earlier and get more rest.

Take deep breaths. Distract yourself. When cravings hit, do something else immediately, such as talking to someone, getting busy with a task, or taking deep breaths.

Change your habits. Use a different route to work, eat breakfast in a different place, or get up from the table right away after eating.

Do something to reduce your stress. Take a hot shower, read a book, or exercise.

Psychological Needs:
-Remind yourself every day why you are quitting.
-Avoid places you connect with smoking, eg: kopitiam
-Develop a plan for relieving stress (i will go for jog with u after my exam.promise)
-Listen to relaxing music.
-Watch a funny movie.
-Take your mind off a problem and come back to it later.
-Rely on your friends, family, and support group for help.
-Avoid coffee. It lowers your chances for success.

Do you still remember this?



A scar that we hardly able to forget. our beloved mum and grandma. Do you wish to see us cry over you? I'm afraid, dad im really freaked out. I cried in the middle of the night for thousand of times imaging how our family will be like without any one of us. What if you're sick? even if mama has a fever, i will be nervous and scared. What if cancer really strike you? How are we going to realise our dream to travel together? Tears and worries will stick with us days and nights. Quit it please, we need you badly, like.. badly :( think of us.. your beloved..















Look.. how happy are we being together..
how your wife and daughters love you..
Health deterioration is common, so as aging..
But if u dont give a damn to it,
and keep your pair of eyes closed about it.. you're definitely near to DEATH..
You've been concerning about health, we know
But QUIT SMOKING is the KEY,
the key for healthy lifestyle..
Lastly, good health brings happiness..
