Tiring Weekend

I had a very tiring weekends. I attended two events last Saturday and the helpers took a day off yesterday. Apart from that, I had a hard time looking for best hemorrhoid treatment that will give the most effective result. I have been asked to look for one for my mom’s friend. Saturday morning, we attended the J&J Bedtime Discoveries Nursery 101: Creating a Sleep Environment at Cafe Sweet Inspirations in Katipunan (I bough Sati and Chico with me). It was a small talk type (unlike the one I attended last January) but it was nice and more engaging. Later that day, we attended the parentin.tv event (Mom and Me Cookfest) at Eastwood Mall (my first time). It was fun specially for the two boys (the older boys). And I also had fun because I got a free slice of sylvanas for being one of the early birds. That treat is one of my favorite.

I will post the pics and detailed events later. I still need to catch up on my sleep.

My Inspiration

This is my official entry to Inspirational Insights First Blogversary Contest.

When asked what inspire me.. I have only one answer.. my family (kids and hubby).

My kids give me strength, happiness and life. I never thought I can love as much as this. I never thought I can feel as much happiness as this.. but with them.. everything is possible.

I always strive hard to be better person because of my kids. I always work hard to be a better mom for them. I always try to be a better wife for my husband, to be someone that he deserve.

Everyday is a brand new day with them, a very exciting day and a very fulfilling day. At night, I am overwhelmed and very thankful for having my kids and being with their dad.

They are my inspiration..

well aside from my kids, I always drew inspiration to the people that is very close to my heart, my mom, my siblings and now, my friends.. the marce club.

I met a lot of friends before and I am still at friends with them but the friendship I found through the marce club is really something. I drew inspiration from the experiences the marces shared with me. I am just so lucky to have friends who understand and shares the same passion (motherhood and blogging) as mine.

Steps to Recovery in a Treatment Center

When you have an addiction to drugs and/or alcohol, sometimes treatment at one of the many inpatient drug and alcohol treatment centers is the only option. Drugs and alcohol can cloud your judgment, and it may feel impossible to break away from that addiction. When that is the case, sometimes the only option is to be in a facility with 24-hour assistance to help you pull away from your addiction and to teach you how you can cope outside the facility without falling back into your addiction. Here’s a simplified process for recovery at treatment centers:

Detox

The first step to recovery is to rid your body of the toxic substances that are causing your problem. By being in a facility that monitors you every hour of the day, you won’t be able to fall into temptation when detoxification becomes difficult. It’s easy to do because your body has become dependent on these substances, despite how they are hurting your systems and bodily functions. Staff at treatment centers know how to help you through the effects of detox and may be able to ease your suffering through medication. But no matter what, you’ll feel better once the toxins are out of your system.

Counseling and Group Therapy

The next step to recovering is to attend one-on-one counseling sessions with your therapist as well as group therapy sessions. These sessions will help you understand how you got addicted in the first place and can help you learn techniques for avoiding your addiction. Some have addictive personality types and learning how to deal with addictive tendencies can help you move past your addictions. Others were abused as children and turn to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain and to escape life. By dealing with these underlying issues, you’ll be able to move past them so they don’t affect you so deeply.
