It is advisable to seek out behavioral or cognitive therapy so as to eliminate the root of the problem causing anxiety attacks.

Merokok di surga
Ini hanya humor tidak bermaksud menyinggung siapapun)
Konon ada seorang kyai yang hobby ngerokok. Tapi karena kasih sayang menghapuskan banyak dosa, maka sang kyai diampuni dosa-dosanya, dan dimasukkan ke surga.
Cuman di surga, pak kyai masih resah. Jadi dia manggil oom malaikat: "Oom Malaikat, kalau di surga saya boleh minta apa aja, saya minta rokok donk."
Malaikat langsung menyediakan rokok berbagai cita rasa. Sang kyai dengan suka cita membuka kemasannya, meraba-raba, menciuminya, mengambil rokok sebatang, lalu ...
"Om Malaikat, apinya gimana?"
Dan kata malaikat, "Apinya ada di neraka."
Pak Kyai langsung beristighfar.
