Be prepared to make your negative ideas and temptations smaller, and to laugh your way to freedom from excesses that can harm you financially, emotionally and physically. It has been said, "The best way to help ourselves is to ridicule, make fun of, or criticize" anything that is not good for us. Laughter, after all, is the best medicine!Throughout the days of my life I have come to form my own psychological methods on how to deal with certain problems and situations. It has come to my attention that psychology is just a matter of creating a system for making certain undesirable situations better for any given person going through difficulties. laymen who simply have lessons to share may have a positive impact as well. I hope whomever reads this book will agree with my approach of ridiculing and making fun of substances or lifestyles that make us less than we can be. So buckle your boots and put your thinking cap on, because it's time to get humorously serious about kicking the habits that might be preventing you from being all you can be. There is so much distraction, temptation, self gratification and greediness that may lead one astray. I have been there and I understand. I have spent many times over my life taking part in habits and activities that have been quite harmful to the success of my life. To help myself become stronger I developed many methods for staying the course toward my goals. Now is the time to create a better life for yourself? What better picture could there be than one on which you can reflect back to a time when you were aware, healthy and knew you were in complete control of your life? Life has so many questions and so few answers to help you get to where you really want to be in life. It's time for you to start making truly great 'selfies.' Sometimes we can form bad habits, such as gambling, overeating, or abusing certain substances like drugs, alcohol, and smoking cigarettes. Most people who get trapped in unhealthy lifestyle choices do not realize they have cheated themselves financially, physically, occupationally, and emotionally. Often these habits cause troubled family relationships and misunderstandings with others. People who have these problems must first see the problem, then kill the destructive tendencies. When we view our abuses as situations to be dealt with, we become free to be the masters of our own lives. In this book you will read many humorous stories that show failures associated with the use and overuse of substances and life habits. The following humorous vignettes will help you get perspective and allow you to put those nasty life habits in their proper places. Perhaps you will be able to see these problems as insignificant in your life through the age old strategy of humor.
