Back in the fifties domestic violence seemed to be ignored by law enforcement. It seemed that spousal abuse was just part of life and excepted as the norm. Many of these families suffered because of alcoholism but this was largely ignored at this time. It almost seemed within the rights of the man of the house to commit these assaults. That all changed once society took serious notice. Alcoholic awareness groups like mothers against drunk driving and other groups have shed light on the domestic level; but they can only do so much. The individual must play their part as well.

Today is not much different when it comes to spousal abuse. Alcoholism still plays a major role in domestic violence. The main difference is the fact that there are more arrests and more intervention. Without these change violence within the home would be much more prevalent. Luckily those within the home are taking action to protect their mothers and themselves from harm by reporting violent problems to authorities. Eventually those with problems are authorized to seek help through the courts. They are sent to alcohol rehab clinics.

Alcohol rehab clinics provide real solutions to those afflicted and those families who suffer from these patients. The fact is, the family still loves those who have abused them. They just want to see them get better so they can rejoin them. These centers provide qualified help that simply cannot be over estimated. They work hard to make sure their patients receive the best treatment options available to them. They know what it is like to be in this type of situation because many of them have gone through the same thing; they are former alcoholics themselves.

The point is do not give up on your family member just because he or she is an alcoholic. They are in need of serious help and perhaps you are the only one that can offer them help; they are more apt to listen to a family member than they are from an outsider. Once they get the help that only an alcohol rehab clinic can provide, they are at the beginnings of getting on the right road to recovery. All they need aside from good rehab is your help. You must support them and be there for them and let them know that you care about their life. Once they get that added vote of confidence they are sure to have an easier time of recovery.

Alcoholism affects millions of individuals. The effects of dependence on alcohol can be devastating on individuals and families. A person may begin to drink excessively if they are having trouble coping with their current situation in life or are plagued by a past event. Sometimes alcoholism is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Whatever the cause, the individual eventually becomes completely dependent on alcohol, and cannot control their drinking. Alcohol abuse is deadly, and is a leading cause of liver failure and fatal car accidents.

Although it is not easy, treatment for alcoholism is available. The most successful way to recover from alcoholism is to enter a rehabilitation facility. Rehab clinics have programs that guide the patient step by step to help them regain the strength they need to fight their addiction. The patient needs to first realize that they have a drinking problem, and be willing to change. Then the structured environment of the clinic will help them get back to leading full and productive lives free from alcohol addiction. (more…)

Flat Belly Diet! Family Cookbook

Davie, Florida (April 2, 2009) – Proving that food does indeed bring families together, Simon Holt recently joined his family in opening a FROOTS quick service restaurant in Encinitas, the first FROOTS location in California. Located in the Encinitas Village Shopping Center, this restaurant brings a variety of smoothies, healthy gourmet wraps, salads and paninis to the community.

Simon and his father-in-law, Merv Morris, found FROOTS while researching business opportunities on the internet and were immediately taken by the quality of the foods offered. “Encinitas is our community,” said Simon. “We live here; our children are in school here. Any business we would bring to our own community had to be something special and we’re very proud to be owners of a FROOTS franchise.”

Simon and Merv are joined in their FROOTS ownership by Simon’s brother-in-law, Brett Bohannon, and Merv’s wife Michelle. The Morrises live in Solana Beach but have much of their family in Encinitas. Merv manages his own consulting firm and Michelle is a mortgage broker. “We feel fortunate to have found FROOTS,” said Merv. “We believe it is the perfect fit for this dynamic community.”

FROOTS offers diners a real change from typical quick service menus. “Their tag line is, “Eat. Drink. Be healthy.” Offerings include everything from gourmet soups to jerk chicken or tofu garden wraps, to Greek salad with humus. Specialty beverage choices include fresh squeezed juices and 100% natural mixed fruit smoothies. For those in need of a little extra boost, FROOTS offers Red Bull® smoothies, mixing fresh fruit with the caffeine, vitamin and energy drink. For the body conscious, performance smoothies, combining protein, fat burner or energy enhancing powders, are available. Green tea and wheatgrass shots are also served.

“Encinitas is one of the most beautiful and active cities in the world and we knew that we wanted to offer food that could satisfy active people and health-conscious families,” added Simon. “We hope people will stop in so that our family can welcome theirs.”
