<description><![CDATA[Getting old, often frail and perhaps unwell too (especially for those living to a ripe old age), is no fun at the best of times. And without the love and support of a caring family, many of these ageing grandparents will feel extremely lonely too, even if they never mention it out loud. Every human being needs to feel a degree of significance and perhaps even more so when becoming elderly.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A misconception has developed within western societies that old folks are boring and somewhat of a burden to the younger working family members. This is felt and echoed by the aged themselves who often comment on how they have become just that. A boring burden for both family and society who would be better off 6 foot under! Surely no old person should ever have to go through such feelings of self-reproach just because their heart dares to still beat!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Whether you're a closet smoker out of concern or out of fear, it's certainly no fun smoking in secrecy!  Not lighting up around non-smokers out of respect, and to reduce their exposure to passive smoking, is a lot different than smoking in the shadows. Most people in the world probably have more pressing things to worry about than the smoking habits of others, no matter how close they are to the secret puffer. Smokers who expose their shallow secret and get on with life will feel much better, honest!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Armed with the knowledge that something is most likely going to kill us, such as smoking, or kill those around us, such as passive smoking, many still opt for the path of destruction regardless of the consequence.

<description><![CDATA[There's no worse anti smoker than a reformed smoker! They're a bigger pain in the butt with their self righteous attitude than those who have never smoked. They seem to have forgotten the days when they too where addicted to the drug nicotine and also got a twisted pleasure out of their dependency.

<description><![CDATA[The explanation that follows is not meant in any way to mock or jab the real alcoholic. Although the language used is blunt, it is written in a way which best portrays the common characteristics of an everyday drunk. Because alcoholism is often referred to as the disease of denial, active alcoholics would find it difficult to find words to explain or even acknowledge their illness. Hopefully, this accurate assessment will help some problem drinkers identify the severity of their malady.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Only you can determine whether you are a real alcoholic or just someone with a drink problem. People drink to excess for all kinds of reasons, be that the loss of a loved one, marriage breakups, a job loss, stress, anxiety ad infinitum, but not all people continue to drink once they've gotten over whatever it was that had them drowning their sorrows in the first place. It's estimated that one in ten people in western societies are alcoholic, and there are many others who are borderline. But there's a lot more to being an alcoholic than you might think. Some people simply drink far too much far too often, but this does not necessarily mean they are alcoholics.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Only a nicotine addict would say that smokers are more interesting and sociable people than non smokers or reformed smokers!  Managers, menial workers, office staff, and CEO's, can all be seen huddled together in shop doorways. It's a sad sight, that's for sure, yet these all-weather puffers are convinced that they are the socialites of the working world! Even if smokers are in general a happy, friendly, outgoing bunch, one can't but ask, at what cost!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[An 'real' alcoholic takes the advice of no one! Active alcoholics will continue drinking until they die from a premature alcohol related illness, or they hit a rock bottom, which serves as a wakeup call. The latter are the fortunate ones and these are the alcoholics who may manage to drinking. But only those drunks who want to get sober will ever get well. Alas, wanting sobriety is not on the list of priorities for those fixated with the bottle.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Sadly, smoking is both habit forming and addictive, making it doubly hard to stop no matter how hard the individual tries. The rationale why most people can't stop smoking is because they don't really want to even though they're aware it's not doing them any good!

<description><![CDATA[Many alcoholics drink until they die simply because they won't, or can't accept the help and advice of others. A problem drinker, on the other hand, will stop drinking, though begrudgingly, if a doctor instructs him to for the sake of his health and well being, or a partner threatens to leave him should he continue. Are you always drinking, or thinking about drinking in between sessions? Does your life seems to go from bad to worse no matter how hard you try to get on the right path? Is getting drunk more of a priority for you than getting dinner or making an appointment?]]></description>
