Product Description
Cigarette smoking is the single greatest preventable cause of death, disease, and disability in the United States. It is the number one cancer killer of women, surpassing breast cancer. More than 70% of smokers have expressed a desire to quit, but are unable to do so alone. Independent cessation is extremely difficult, with a long-term success rate of 3-9%.Couple this difficulty with the fact that many female (and some male) smokers do not even try to quit because they are afraid of the resulting weight gain, and it seems a near impossibility for smokers to quit alone.
Any amount of counseling, from even one ten-minute session, drastically improves a person’s chances for cessation success. Many therapists have clients who smoke, yet they do not encourage them to quit because they feel under-equipped to help them. There are very few books for mental health workers that teach smoking cessation techniques; almost all of the books on the market are self… More >>

Sitting on the couch one morning over a cup of coffee, you review the last few weeks of your life and decide that it isn’t what you want. The people involved in your life are good people, you love them, but you are not satisfied with the way things are going.
You have tried to bring the subject up with your spouse. He or she has asked what it is that you want, but you are unable to answer the question for them or even for yourself. Nothing is solved and the same life continues. That morning on the couch you decide you need to help, but who do you go to?
New York therapists can be found in many different areas. Community mental health centers, hospitals and human service agencies to name a few. Most schools and universities have counseling services to help their students who may be having difficulties at work and home, or are dealing with a stressful work load.
If you are the person above, a therapist that does counseling at your educational institute may be the wisest place for you to start. The surroundings are at least familiar to you, you might have heard good things about the counselor from associates and you already know the hours that they keep.
Getting an appointment with them may fit into your schedule. You may find the same kind of help if you work in a large business. If neither of these places fit your life, you might try any of the many human service agencies that will most often provide you with short-term care until you can find another counselor, or until such time as they locate one for you.
Another place that you might investigate is community mental health services. The psychologists, social workers and psychiatrists that work there are usually on salaries, which means that the health facility more than likely will staff these professionals on holidays and weekends.
Yet another source of help is the yellow page directory in your area. You will find many professionals in the yellow pages, but you might find that they are too expensive for you to afford.
If someone is willing to help you with the expenses involved, you might consider that you will be seeing someone who is in private practice and more than likely has a lot of experience.
Now that you have found places where you can get help for your difficulties, you will now probably be wondering about what kind of professional can best treat you. In the beginning the degree that a therapist holds is not that important.
What you need is the first consultation in order to find more information. If you will need medication, any of the therapists that you see will refer you to a psychiatrist who will give you a prescription for whatever he or she feels you will need.
In many cases, New York therapists work with a particular psychiatrist for these very reasons. You may decide after your first consultation that you do not like the specific therapist you are seeing. If you wish to find another therapist that suits you better, whether it is because of gender, nationality or religious views, you will not be hurting the therapist’s feelings.
The problem is yours and you need to make sure that you are getting what is important to you. You may seek out several interviews or consultations with different New York therapists until you find one that you are comfortable with. Most first visits will be a discussion on what your issues are, what treatments are best and what results you are looking for.
You also need to be listening and observing your therapist and asking yourself some questions, such as: Do they seem to have a personal warmth? Do you feel that they are showing you proper sincerity and concern? Do you feel comfortable with them and so find conversing easy? New York therapists that show confidence and self-assurance are important to your therapy because it shows competency.
Once you have decided that you have the right New York therapist, you need to examine your self. Therapy does not create miracles and it takes time and energy on your part. Making life changes is not easy. Most forms of behavior are habits that are difficult to get out of. You need to face the truth about yourself.
Most people will admit that they aren’t perfect. Recognizing unpleasant things about your self is not a good time for most of us. The point is that until you recognize them you can’t change them. Many New York therapists will tell you, after they have worked with you a few times, how many visits are on average needed to complete therapy for someone with your issues.
This, however, does vary from one individual to the next. You are not there to try and make the book of world records by walking out of the office after the first few sessions a new person. It takes some time and dedication on your part. The New York therapist is there for you and you need to give them your cooperation so they can help you.

My hope is to give some guidance and advice to those out there who are struggling with heroin addiction. I have been an addict myself and have struggled with it for many years and now I am clean and sober.
I think it would be great if everyone could find recovery but unfortunately this is not going to happen. I knew a lot of struggling addicts when I was still on dope who had never really heard of rehab, nor did they have any great urge to go there.
I knew of some addicts who had gone to rehab but they really did not want to stop doing drugs. While they were in treatment, they would be making plans to get high with the little bit of money they had managed to bum off others while there.
I knew a lot of people that blew all their money and ended up homeless. I remember taking my rent money on more than one occasion and buying some dope, telling myself that I would sell it and make my money back and pay the rent.
Well check this out, did you ever see a monkey that could sell bananas? Of course not. So you get the picture. I shot up all the dope and had to once again ask my family to pay my rent. They were great enablers.
If it were not for them paying my bills and lending me money all the time who knows what my life would have been like. I am grateful that they helped me but on the other hand their actions might have kept me using.
I remember riding around town with the gas tank on empty and would not put gas in the car. My thought was I needed it to score drugs. We would end up running out of gas and having to walk to the gas station to get a can.
Then we would walk back with the gas and start the whole routine over again. I think one day we ran out of gas like six times before we got a bag of dope. How crazy is that? I have lived through this madness, thinking all the while that everything was alright.
I remember becoming physically weak, losing like fifty sixty pounds, and when I would look in the mirror I would tell myself “man you are looking good.” This is the extent of my denial; that I did not realize that I looked like the walking dead.
I also recall that when I went to a long stay at rehab, the counselor took our photo when we first got there. After about six months or so she showed me mine. It scared me quite a bit. I saw a dead man.
I could see my cheek bones and I did not have any meat on my bones at all. I felt bad for the person in that picture and it brought tears to my eyes.
I am telling you this so that you don’t have to go through. I am a big one for giving people another chance because I can not tell you how many chances I have got.
I also believe there is hope for everyone. No addict needs to die from the horrors of addiction. Help is available. You can stop using heroin. I normally recommend that addicts start by going to 12 step meetings. Then they can move on to other things like addiction therapy. Once they get a little clean time they can start working on repairing the wreckage of their past. This is how the process starts.
