Heroin Addiction

RIR Addiction Recovery NetworkDrugs like OxyContin and other Opiate drugs such morphine, codeine, Dilaudid, methadone are not illegal and don't carry the same stigma as heroin. These Opiate drugs are now the new starter drugs that our kids are finding in the family medicine cabinets. Once the supply is gone they move on to street drugs. Heroin an "Opiate" is considered to be one of the most addictive drugs sold illegally today. Next thing you know years later if they are lucky enough not to die or end up in prison. The now 18-25 year old's are showing up in opiate detoxs/drug rehabs as full blown Heroin and Opiate addicts after years of abuse. Heroin Addiction 2014 RIR Sponsor[/caption] Someone who is addicted to Heroin will go to any length to obtain it. Moreover, when such a person stops taking the drug he or she will suffer serious physical consequences of withdrawal. A detoxification for heroin addiction is usually necessary to get this drug out of the users system. There are many excellent detoxes for Heroin addiction and the drug rehab Center works as part of a treatment network with many of them. Read More

Life Can Change One Day At A Time

Addiction is not always death or homelessness it could be in the form of being saved from one’s self and one’s actions while under the influence of alcohol or drugs by being arrested. Unfortunate but true things happen that would not if a person was of their right mind.

We at All Florida Bail Bonds Inc. understands addiction and the help that is needed for the addicted person to get treatment and to have a true shot of doing something different with their lives. A bondsmen is often the first person to help with such action.

When a loved one gets the call please get me out of jail they feel hopeless, fear, and anger. Loved ones don’t know what to do with a friend, son,daughter,mother or father that is out of control and has ended up in jail because of drugs and alcohol.

All Florida Bail Bonds Inc. knows how to set the bonds where if a person is unwilling to follow though on help for their issues they can be remanded back to jail by revoking the loved ones bond.

This is a talk you should have with us before bonding your loved one or friend and let us help you help them with a contract of conduct. This contract will need to be followed as the first form of intervention needed. This action can be in place by All Florida Bail Bonds Inc anywhere in the United States.

We also know from time to time we may find ourselves needing legal help of some sort or another that may not have any thing at all to do with addiction. Most often for un-controllable and unforeseen reasons we could find ourselves or a loved one in trouble with the law. We understand that it’s not always intentional or one’s fault, but bad things can happen to good people and that is why you might need to find a Bail Bond Agent to help get us out of jail. It might even be a friend or family member that needs help in another city or state All Florida Bail Bonds Inc. can help.

History Of Crossroads Centre, Of Antigua


A letter from our founder, Mr. Eric Clapton


For many years I have visited Antigua, the beautiful Caribbean island located in the heart of the West Indies. Antigua has always been a special refuge – a safe place, a serene place where one can begin the process of healing from even the most devastating events and life situations.

As a recovering addict and alcoholic, many people over the years spoke with me about the problems associated with drug and alcohol abuse on the island. Subsequently, around 1993, I began to speak with more and more people about the possibility of founding a Centre on the island for the treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. There was certainly a need, and so the dream and the vision were born.

My vision was to create a Centre of the highest caliber to treat people of the Caribbean and throughout the world. The Centre would be staffed with experienced and internationally recognized professionals. The cost of treatment would be held to the lowest possible level, ensuring affordability and accessibility. And most importantly, this non-profit Centre would provide treatment scholarships for people of the Caribbean region and around the world.

Well, this vision became a reality and Crossroads opened its doors to the world in 1998. Since then it has quickly developed into an internationally recognized Treatment Centre of Excellence, providing services to individuals and their families suffering from the devastating effects of addiction.

Crossroads is like no other Treatment Centre. It is the perfect place to begin the road of recovery and utilizes a combination of effective therapies to address addiction and recovery, while capturing the spiritual serenity that many have found unique to Antigua. Within the serene, healing atmosphere individuals participate in a structured 29-day residential 12 step based program that allows clients to experience a whole person wellness approach to recovery.

We believe that the majority of individuals suffering from addiction have the capacity for recovery if given the proper foundation to begin their journey. At Crossroads we help provide that foundation.

Sincerely,

Erics Signature

Eric Clapton

Shape-up or Shake-Up?

Shape-up or Shake-Up? « Holistic Lifestyles Radio

Shape-up or Shake-Up?

by Holistic Lifestyles Radio on May.18, 2011, under Home

Relationships are the Primary Meal

Carol Harblin (CHHC)

Pre-teen and teenage girls do not need any more help having body image disturbances. We need to encourage authenticity and attaining a true self. Of course it is nice to feel good having a body that is in shape, but it we should not base our existence on our outward appearances.

The new Shape-Up sneakers are causing an uproar today in the media. They are being marketed to pre-teen girls and teen girls via cartoon commercials on the TV channel Nick. These commercials are sending messages to these impressionable girls to look like these skinny girls on TV in stead of appreciating themselves for who they are and embracing their unique body image.

It is important to be active. I am the first person to tell a person the importance of walking and being active outside or in a gym or with a sport; however, at the same time, we should not knock ourselves out trying to fit that societal image just to please others and the status symbols.

When we try to please others to fill these roles and images we are setting ourselves up for disappointment and possibly an eating disorder or even a chemical addiction.

The Shape-Ups for girls are only marketed to girls….but why not boys? Don’t we want to see them shape up too? If these shoes are meant to help reduce that childhood obesity then let’s market them for boys too. But first and foremost, it’s not about the special shoes…it’s about portion control and staying active. Do not portion out adult size portions to your kid and expect them to clean their plate. Kids stomachs are much smaller than an adults.

The idea that the marketing was slanted toward girls also makes it somewhat sexist too! It’s almost telling us and the children to maintain that image or you won’t be liked anymore.

Girls are going to look at the fashion magazines and teen girl magazines soon enough – it’s human nature….we all perused those magazines. What’s important is that they know enough to NOT compare themselves to those airbrushed images.

Learn to love who we are and appreciate our friends and people around us for who and what they are.

Rockers In Recovery Press Release

Rockers In Recovery Press Release « Holistic Lifestyles Radio

Rockers In Recovery Press Release

by Holistic Lifestyles Radio on May.09, 2011, under Home

Rockers In Recovery received a letter that made us proud to see that our message is making a difference.

A gentleman Daniel W. who is in a Broward County Correctional Facility Life Skills Program wrote to Rockers In Recovery regarding our Radio Show and two very powerful songs we play. He explained how the inmates who are struggling with addiction listen to our radio show on 1470 AM daily. When they are not in AA/NA meetings the group of men get together and listen to Rockers In Recovery.

He said the two songs that they all can relate to are “Last House on the Block” by Richie Supa and “Broken Is A Place” by Ricky Byrd.

He gave us a little information on the group recovery program he is a part of and stated that it is a 30 day program which when their 30 days are up another 65 men come in. He believes these two songs are motivational and asked if we could assist him with getting them onto a CD and mailing it to the Facilities Specialist.

We are planning on getting that CD burnt for them this week and we want to thank all of the men working on themselves one day at a time at the Life Skills Program for their desire to do something different with their lives.

From all of us at Rockers In Recovery you are in our prayers and we look forward to hearing great things from all of you upon your release.

All Inspirational Throw Pillows $44.00

Life has moved very quickly for me. So quickly that I woke up one day and found myself isolated from my family and LIFE (not to mention God). Life literally brought me to my knees. I’ll call this my first “Spiritual Awakening”.

God Pillow

Every time I surrender, a Spiritual Transformation happens. A door opens and I know God is listening. I know I have to listen well.

Since developing a relationship with God, LIFE IS FULLER. Life keeps on being busy… that doesn’t stop. But now I take time in the morning, get on my knees, pray, and ask God to direct me during the day. And, every time I ask, I find my day runs smoother. And, at the end of the day, I get on my knees and say “Thank you”. That is the best part.

So here I am. Inspired and knowing that great things will happen.

I also know that when the not-so-good things happen, I AM NOT ALONE. Ask God to come with you during your day. And use your GODpillow in good health.

Crossroads Centre Antigua a Place for Recovery

History Of Crossroads Centre, Of Antigua

A letter from our founder, Mr. Eric Clapton
For many years I have visited Antigua, the beautiful Caribbean island located in the heart of the West Indies. Antigua has always been a special refuge – a safe place, a serene place where one can begin the process of healing from even the most devastating events and life situations.

As a recovering addict and alcoholic, many people over the years spoke with me about the problems associated with drug and alcohol abuse on the island. Subsequently, around 1993, I began to speak with more and more people about the possibility of founding a Centre on the island for the treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. There was certainly a need, and so the dream and the vision were born.

My vision was to create a Centre of the highest caliber to treat people of the Caribbean and throughout the world. The Centre would be staffed with experienced and internationally recognized professionals. The cost of treatment would be held to the lowest possible level, ensuring affordability and accessibility. And most importantly, this non-profit Centre would provide treatment scholarships for people of the Caribbean region and around the world.

Well, this vision became a reality and Crossroads opened its doors to the world in 1998. Since then it has quickly developed into an internationally recognized Treatment Centre of Excellence, providing services to individuals and their families suffering from the devastating effects of addiction.

Crossroads is like no other Treatment Centre. It is the perfect place to begin the road of recovery and utilizes a combination of effective therapies to address addiction and recovery, while capturing the spiritual serenity that many have found unique to Antigua. Within the serene, healing atmosphere individuals participate in a structured 29-day residential 12 step based program that allows clients to experience a whole person wellness approach to recovery.

We believe that the majority of individuals suffering from addiction have the capacity for recovery if given the proper foundation to begin their journey. At Crossroads we help provide that foundation.

Sincerely,

Erics Signature

Eric Clapton

The Renewal Centre at Crossroads

The Renewal Centre at Crossroads is designed to offer people in various stages of recovery
An opportunity to revive and refresh, their recovery

The Renewal Centre at Crossroads is designed to offer people in various stages of recovery an opportunity to revive and refresh, their recovery experience. We provide a safe, supportive environment to explore various issues with an emphasis on creating balance in one’s life. Through staff facilitation and group interaction, participants experience a powerful week of self awareness and rediscovery.

All of our recovery retreats are founded in the Twelve Steps as well as the Crossroads Centre whole person approach to recovery. This means that in addition to Twelve Step studies, lectures, facilitated group discussions and individual assignments, participants are introduced to complementary therapies such as: yoga, fitness activities, meditation, and massage therapy. Our recovery retreats, while providing an opportunity for intensive self-discovery and awareness, also combine off -site activities unique to Antigua to make for an enriched experience. As our participants know only too well, Antigua is the perfect place to continue the journey of recovery.

Please note: If in recovery, these programs are designed for individuals with a minimum of 60 days of abstinence/ sobriety. People who are actively using alcohol or drugs addictively are not appropriate for this program. Crossroads Centre is an alcohol and drug-free facility and all participants are expected to adhere to this policy.

Reinvent Your Recovery Recovery is about more than just abstinence or sobriety. It involves continued growth and attention in order to develop into something that is healthy and vital, yet it is common for people in various stages of recovery to feel that there is something missing or less satisfying in their personal recovery. Through lectures, small group sessions and various complementary therapies, we will help participants reinvent their recovery experience into something that is dynamic and vibrant. All of this takes place in breathtaking Antigua West Indies, and incorporates the many sights, sounds and experiences of this nature island. Whether you are looking for quiet reflection and spiritual reconnection or shared fellowship and adventure, this renewal retreat has something to offer everyone.

Intervention Through Bail Bondsman

Addiction is not always death or homelessness it could be in the form of being saved from one’s self and one’s actions while under the influence of alcohol or drugs by being arrested. Unfortunate but true things happen that would not if a person was of their right mind.
We at All Florida Bail Bonds Inc. understands addiction and the help that is needed for the addicted person to get treatment and to have a true shot of doing something different with their lives. A bondsmen is often the first person to help with such action.
When a loved one gets the call please get me out of jail they feel hopeless, fear, and anger. Loved ones don’t know what to do with a friend, son,daughter,mother or father that is out of control and has ended up in jail because of drugs and alcohol.
All Florida Bail Bonds Inc. knows how to set the bonds where if a person is unwilling to follow though on help for their issues they can be remanded back to jail by revoking the loved ones bond.
This is a talk you should have with us before bonding your loved one or friend and let us help you help them with a contract of conduct. This contract will need to be followed as the first form of intervention needed. This action can be in place by All Florida Bail Bonds Inc anywhere in the United States.
We also know from time to time we may find ourselves needing legal help of some sort or another that may not have any thing at all to do with addiction. Most often for un-controllable and unforeseen reasons we could find ourselves or a loved one in trouble with the law. We understand that it’s not always intentional or one’s fault, but bad things can happen to good people and that is why you might need to find a Bail Bond Agent to help get us out of jail. It might even be a friend or family member that needs help in another city or state All Florida Bail Bonds Inc. can help.

In Memory of Phoebe Snow of the NYC Hit Squad

In Memory of Phoebe Snow of the NYC Hit Squad

by Holistic Lifestyles Radio on May.02, 2011, under Home

Friends, family, and her legions of admirers (and her admirers include every musician and singer who ever worked with her) will say goodbye to Phoebe Snow, sweet diva, voice from God, today in New York City. We lost Phoebe to the ages earlier this week after she lost her own battle with a long illness.

Phoebe Snow was no stranger to the idea of recovery, and survival. Even a quick Google search will yield the the well-known information that she put her legendary career on hold to care for her disabled daughter, Valerie, who predeceased her by only a few years. After Valerie’s passing, Phoebe worked to recover from grief and triumphed,
taking to concert stages (a particularly storied return to the Bearsville Theatre had the audience alternately screaming her name and disolving in tears) and the recording studio. Hers was a unique talent, and she could be the most generous and giving of friends, as I know well. When my husband died of cancer in 2005, she came to sing at his memorial concert and then, several months later, contacted me to say that she had arranged a Buddhist toba prayer ceremony for him at her midtown NYC temple, and would I attend with her? It was such a lovely gesture, from such a brave and celestially talented soul. We all miss her dearly, and always will.
