“God had control of the pencil on this one” said Richie Supa as we spoke about the new release of “Last House On The Block” and how it brought him to tears while producing the song. Richie is a man of deep talent and love of others as we can feel in songs like Amazing” (1993), co-written with Steven Tyler of Aerosmith.

Richie Supa has been a behind-the-scenes voice in the legendary rock band Aerosmith for years. Richie Supa additionally, helped co-write several songs, including the hits “Chip Away the Stone” (1978), “Lightning Strikes” (1982), ” and “Pink” (1997), among others.

Richie Supa co-wrote most of the songs on Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora’s second solo album Undiscovered Soul. He also wrote the song “Misery” for the album Missundaztood by Pink, on which Aerosmith’s singer Steve Tyler and Richie Sambora collaborated and co-wrote the song “My Interpretation” from Mika’s debut album Life in Cartoon Motion.

Artists who have cut Supa’s songs read like a who’s who of the music industry, with over 50 million records sold. Artists who have recorded Supa’s songs include Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Ozzy Osborne, Mika, Pink and legendary artists such as Johnny Winter, Tom Jones, Air Supply, Glen Campbell, Willie Nelson, to name a few. Richie’s songs have appeared in Disney movies, feature films and on network television, including the hit show Melrose Place Read more: http://www.myspace.com/richiesupa#ixzz0rJgAWjiy.

Richie’s release of the song “In The Rooms” dedicated to the Social Media Site www.intherooms.com won the 2009 Prism Award.

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.

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.

THE ANTIDOTE FOR ADDICTION (1)

by Holistic Lifestyles Radio on Jun.01, 2010, under Home

Is there an antidote for addiction?

Yes! That’s the good news.

Here’s the bad news!

What if – you had to drive ten miles EVERY DAY to get the antidote?

Would you be willing to drive the ten miles?

Before saying “Yes, I want the antidote,” let’s explore this a little further.

You have to ask yourself, “How bad do I want it?”

This isn’t a trick question.

Addiction has its rewards.

Are you ready and willing to walk away from the “safety” of your solitary prison where you don’t have to – feel any pain – from the outside world; where you don’t have to grow, or change?

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. In starting our recovery journey, all we have to do is – take one step away from our solitary prisons – by “connecting” with people who have been where we are, people who will walk the journey of the thousand miles with us – every step of the way. Here’s the wisdom passed on to us the 100 original members of A.A.:

The tremendous fact – for every one of us - is that we have discovered a common solution.

We have found – a way out - from the slavery of addiction, on which we can absolutely agree, and upon which we can join in brotherly and harmonious action.

This is the great news the book, Alcoholics Anonymous, carries to those who suffer from addiction. (An appropriate title for the book could possibly be – The Antidote For Addiction – more than 150 Twelve Step Programs are built on its foundation)

Nearly all of us have – recovered. We have SOLVED the addiction problem.

The physical cravings, along with the obsessive thoughts and compulsive feelings to use pills, alcohol, or drugs, have been – removed.

They do not exist for us.

We are neither cocky, nor are we afraid.

This is our experience; this is how we react, so long as – we stay in fit spiritual condition. (A. A. Page 17, 85)

Today, make a fresh start. Read the Doctor’s Opinion. Renew – your spirit.

Namaste, (The light in me “honors” the light in you.)

Jack

Memorial Day Reflecting By Carol Harblin (CHHC)

Memorial Day…it’s more than a day off from work…it’s also a day of reflecting and memorializing the people who have served for the country too.

People have many ways of showing their peace and reflection for someone.
We all have our ways of grieving or honoring people.

Being with family and friends on Memorial Day is a massive dose of relationships in the primary food area. Just the idea of being with our loved ones on the brink of summer makes us smile.

Having a conversation with a grandparent, parent, spouse, niece, nephew, cousin, Aunt, Uncle, and siblings can be life-changing and will stay with you for a lifetime.

These are the moments we have to embrace now with our loved ones, so that down the road we won’t have any regrets.

How full do you feel after a cook-out with family this weekend? It wasn’t just the food you were eating…you were getting fed off each other too.

What is a good thing to eat at a picnic anyway?

• fruit salad
• *salads in general, i.e. macaroni, potato, tossed, fruit, etc…
• barbeque chicken
• kabobs
• grilled vegetables
• corn on the cob
• water
• home-made lemonade
• sun tea

What are some fun family activities?

• Frisbee
• soccer
• volleyball
• kick ball
• horse shoes
• bubble blowing
• croquet
• (board games if it’s raining)

These are the days that make-up our memories for tomorrow…let’s make them good ones!!

Heroin Addiction

Heroin Addiction

by Holistic Lifestyles Radio on Jun.01, 2010, under Home

Heroin is considered to be one of the most addictive drugs sold illegally today. 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 Challenges Treatment Center works as part of a treatment network with many of them in Florida.

Treatment for Heroin addiction will vary according to the length of time which someone has been addicted , to their physical symptoms and medical condition in general and to whatever other drugs , including alcohol, which they may have been mixing with their use of Heroin. People generally will use heroin in two ways, either snorting or injecting. The first time a person uses Heroin the drug causes a feeling of extreme euphoria ( and sometimes paranoia ) and this is intoxicating. The drug also has noticable effects on the user physically ; heaviness all over his body, skin flushes, and dry mouth. Heroin also affects the brain of the user including the central nervous system. In truth, Heroin causes symptoms which mimic in many ways those of a person having a mild stroke, such as a very slow gait, and a hard time talking and imparied physical movement of the extremities.

There are also long term consequences of Heroin addiction. Long time repeated use of Heroin can cause damage to the lungs and weaken the circulatory system. It can also cause clogging of the blood vessels which affects vital organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys. The drug can be deadly if use continues.

Treatment for Heroin addiction is deigned to help the user stop taking the drug which will hopefully mean that his or her physical damage will repair itself with time. Also, since a long time Heroin user will likely have ruined his or her relationships with family and friends and have experienced other negative social , legal and career consequences from the addiction treatment is also designed to begin the process of restoring the person back into normal society. With time in recovery ,away from the drug , the former user can be restored to a hopeful state of mind and body.

Challenges Treatment Center is an addiction treatment rehab facility which can help the Heroin addict find freedom from the addiction. Challenges helps people in the recovery process from this addiction as we start to case manage the addict right from the beginning during the detoxification process, known to be the hardest phase during heroin addiction treatment.

This Florida Heroin addiction rehab is a place of healthy re entry back into normal life. Challenges provides a spiritual environment for the recovering person to meditate, relax, and learn why he or she has sought drug use as an escape from life. Someone in treatment at Challenges will receive one-on-one, group, and family counseling with the goal being to restore this person back to a healthy normal life, restoring relationships with their loved ones, accepting behaviors, consequences and actions of the past, and being inspired by the struggles and triumphs of other addicts in recovery.
