Regular exercise has always been recommended by doctors for multitudes of physical ailments and conditions—but exercise can mean a whole lot more when it comes to substance addiction recovery. In traditional alcohol and drug abuse treatment, both inpatient and outpatient recovery facilities recognize the importance of detoxification, rehabilitation, and aftercare maintenance which includes the application of cognitive-behavioral therapies and pharmacological agents. However, the most modern practices are considering the incorporation of daily or weekly exercise regimens for patients due to the multifaceted benefits it provides recovering addicts.

Drug Maker Recalls Some OTC Drugs to Avoid Mix-Up with Opioids Made at Same Plant
The drug maker Novartis is recalling 1,645 lots of certain over-the-counter medication, including Excedrin and Gas-X, because the products could potentially contain stray capsules or caplets from other products. Prescription opioids including Opana, Percocet, and an extended-release version of morphine tablets were made at the same plant.
The drug company and the Food and Drug Administration said they were not aware of any adverse events from any pill mix-ups, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The plant where the medicines were made, in Lincoln, Nebraska, was shut down last month, the article notes. Novartis is recalling 1,645 lots of Excedrin and NoDoz with expiration dates of December 20, 2014 or earlier, and Bufferin and Gas-X Prevention products with expiration dates of December 20, 2013 or earlier. The plant also made opioids for Endo Pharmaceutical Holdings. Novartis said in astatement it is recalling its products as a precaution because an internal product review and complaints identified issues including broken gel caps and chipped tablets and “a potential for tablet mix up could not be ruled out.”
The company said Gas-X Prevention is the only Novartis product made on the same line as the Endo products, and it did not receive reports of mix-ups of those medicines.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
If you say your going to do something then do it. I myself personally say that I am going to do this or that whether in my home life or work and then I don't follow through. We don't realize that were only hurting ourselves in the long run. When you really think about it, your word is all you really have and when you tell people over and over again that your going to do something and don't your word is NO good! I do that so often and when I am called out on it I think its no big deal, but it is, especially to the ones who are counting on me to get it done.
Increasing Price of Alcohol May Reduce Drinking, Study Suggests
Increasing the minimum price of alcohol may reduce drinking, a new Canadian study suggests. The study found that for every 10 percent increase in the price of alcohol, people drank 3.4 percent less overall. Consumption was reduced by 6.8 percent for spirits and liqueurs, 8.9 percent for wine, 13.9 percent for alcoholic sodas and ciders, and 1.5 percent for beer, Reuters reports.
The study was conducted in British Columbia, where the government sets the minimum price for alcohol. The researchers at the Centre for Addictions Research of British Columbia examined government data from 1989 to 2010.
The article notes the study does not prove that price increases are fully responsible for the change in drinking habits.
The study is published in the journal Addiction.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
True serenity is found in trusting and loving the LORD with your whole heart. Have you ever noticed no matter how hard we push to make our life just the way we want it and find once we get it there, its not enough! That is because most of us are not doing what He wants. We are not on this earth for our purpose, we are here for His purposes. It's like trying to put a round peg in a square hole. We fumble around twist and turn push and struggle and no matter how hard we try to get that round peg to fit, it wont. Frustration and defeat set in and we have to start over again. When we live life without putting the LORD first we wind up like that round peg, no matter what we do it just doesnt seem to fit or make sense. Putting the Lord first will bring serenity and remove that frustration and defeat. Life wont be perfect but it will start to make sense and that is when serenity will come in and bring peace.
