Positive Choices -

Why You Drink and How to Stop, A Journey to Freedom by Veronica Valli is an instructional manual for getting sober.  It is available at these on line retailers: iTunes, Barnes&Noble.com, Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. 

As a social worker I have read many books on additions and their causes and the plan for sobriety but this book is by far unique.  I feel this a fantastic book.  It is easy to read, understand and the concepts are ready to apply to everyday life. I liked the stories that tied the point together of various sections.  The chapters I really liked were Chapter 2: The Path to Alcoholism, Chapter 3: What Drives People to Drink, and Chapter 6: The Spiritual Aspect of Recovery.   The spiritual aspect of recovery debunks the theory that you have to be a super Christian to gain recovery.  I liked the idea that you can let go of religion and still find God.

The concluding chapter: Becoming the Best Version of Yourself You Are Capable of Being is moving.  It is hard for some to tell themselves positive affirmations even without addictions.  The reason I have a daily devotion of positive affirmations is so I can be kind to myself. 

Please pick up a copy of this book for yourself if you have ever wanted to stop the craziness of drinking.

A-RX produced by Living Fit USA available at Amazon.com

To be honest with you I have not tried any weight loss supplements.  I have always been afraid of the long term effects of chemical stimulants on the body.  Every individual responds differently to the chemical stimulants and most reports of them have been so negative that I steered away from them.  I chose instead the hard way of managing my diet and exercise.

I was given the opportunity to evaluate A-RX is a weight loss supplement that effectively suppresses appetite and increases energy.  I must say I did my research about the contents prior to consuming one pill.  And I can tell you it is effective.  I had lost 20 pounds by diet and exercise but had reached a plateau.   By adding one capsule of A-RX in the morning prior to food intake, I have lost 4 pounds in 15 days changing no other routine. 

A-RX contains Garcinia Cambogia or Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) and Green Coffee Bean Extract has Chlorogenic acid which are not chemicals but natural products.  Together they create “Strongest APPETITE SUPPRESSANTS & FAT BURNERS, Available Today.” 

Here is my research.  Dr. Oz promotes Garcinia Cambogia as an effective fat burner.  The Doctors also promote Green Coffee Bean Extract as an effective appetite suppressant and fat burner. Here is how both of them work.  Your body uses enzymes to convert unused energy or glucose into fat deposits in the body.  The HCA in Garcinia blocks those enzymes preventing the formation of fat.  Your body breaks down stored fat cells increasing metabolism and burning fat off your body. HCA also increases serotonin in your brain limiting your appetite and giving you extra energy. Chlorogenic acid is an antioxidant, may also slow the release of glucose into the bloodstream after a meal.
