"Dear Ann, I have several addictive personalities in my family, and I am desperate for help. Both my parents smoke, as does my sister, and I have three older brothers who all chew tobacco. Is there anything you can recommend that would help me save them from themselves?" My very first recommendation would be to procure some Black Pepper essential oil. My very second recommendation would be to research DIY Black Pepper essential oil recipes for homemade products designed to curb addictive habits. I would then encourage your family members to give them a try. The difficult part is getting someone with an addictive personality to admit they have a problem. The next most difficult thing is getting them to seek help. With my new Black Pepper essential oil book, you will learn about how to effectively use Black Pepper to alleviate a multitude of addictive habits by making DIY home remedies. To Your Continued Wellness, Ann Sullivan
