Alcohol Addiction Experts Reveal What Happens To Your Body If You Stop Drinking

New Jersey, 04/05/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

The decision to stop drinking alcohol can be a huge step in your life, especially if you have an addiction to it. Most people suffering from alcoholism need professional help to stop, and it’s a tough thing to do.

But once you have made the decision to abstain from drinking, you’ll see some pretty amazing things happen – not only in your mind, spirit, and relationships, but also in your body.

Alcoholism takes a toll on a person’s body, but the sooner you quit drinking, the better your chances of regaining good health, says the alcohol addiction experts at Summit Behavioral Health. Below are some of the benefits you will experience when you quit drinking and the timeline they typically follow.

Benefits of Abstaining from Drinking Alcohol

Long-term or heavy drinking can cause serious changes to your body and your brain. Some of the risks of alcohol abuse include:

Digestive problems

Increased risk of cancer

Heart and cardiovascular issues

Increase risk of stroke

Increased risk of depression and anxiety

Increased risk of liver problems including cirrhosis

Dementia and other degenerative disorders (also known as “wet brain”)

However, by quitting drinking, you can reverse many of those symptoms and reestablish good health. The following are just some of the positive outcomes you may see by abstaining from alcohol:

The body’s ability to absorb vitamins and minerals increases

Metabolism is restored, leading to fat loss

Energy increases

Reduced risk of cancer and decreased stress levels

Lower blood pressure and reduced risk of stroke and heart attack

Quicker immune response

Reversal of alcohol-related liver damage

Alcohol Recovery Timeline

How long and how much alcohol you drank will have an effect on the timeline that you experience when you stop drinking. First, let’s take a look at the phases of alcohol withdrawal.

Acute Withdrawal

The first challenge you will face when you stop drinking is acute withdrawal. The symptoms will start as soon as six hours after your last drink.

Sweating and rise in body temperature

Raised blood pressure and heart rate

Shaking or tremors

Insomnia

Anxiety

Withdrawing from alcohol isn’t something to be taken lightly. Depending on a person’s history of drinking, this stage can cause delirium tremens, seizures, and even death. If your alcoholism is severe, it’s essential that you find help in a medically-supervised detox facility.

Post-Acute Withdrawal

Completely detoxing from alcohol can take up to two weeks. Once that is done, you have made it through the most physically challenging part of withdrawal. During post-acute withdrawal phase, you will likely begin to experience the psychological effects of not drinking. Some of the symptoms of this phase include:

Decrease in energy

Emotions such as anger and aggression

Increased anxiety and depression

Insomnia or nightmares

Decreased libido

This may also be the time where cravings for alcohol set in. Each person’s experience with post-acute alcohol withdrawal is different – for some it may only last a few weeks, for some it may be up to a year. Seeking help from an alcohol addiction rehab will help ease your transition into recovery and treat any underlying conditions you may have.

What is Going on In Your Body? A Timeline

The following is a timeline of how your body is reacting to the absence of alcohol. Again, not everyone experiences the same thing, this is a general timeline.

12-24 Hours After Quitting

During the first day of not drinking, your blood sugar normalizes. You will be feeling the effects of withdrawal at this point, so drink plenty of water and stay away from refined sugars. Try to eat healthy foods like fruit and vegetables.

48 Hours After Quitting

Your biggest alcohol detox hurdle is over; however, you are still likely feeling withdrawal symptoms. You probably still feel tired, nauseated, and have a headache lingering. Depending on the severity of your alcohol abuse, you make be shaky and dizzy. Your blood pressure is becoming more stable and your body temperature should have returned to normal.

72 Hours After Quitting

You may be feeling better physically at this point. But, if you were a heavy drinker or maintenance drinker (someone who drinks around the clock, never allowing the body to be free of alcohol), then you may feel worse and still have shaking and dizziness.

One Week After Quitting

You should start sleeping better – more deeply – which will increase your energy during the day. Your skin will be looking better as hydration restores. Conditions you may have had like dandruff, eczema, and rosacea will improve as your skin does.

One Month After Quitting

Your liver function should be improving. Liver fat is reduced by about 15% at this point and that increases its ability to filter toxins out of the body. You may notice a reduced amount of belly fat, and the most improvement in your skin happens around this time. Your energy level will continue to rise and you likely feel renewed physically.

If you haven’t already, you should be looking for emotional support from a 12-step group, addiction therapist, or other addiction professional. Most relapses occur within the first six months of sobriety. You don’t want that to happen to you.

One Year After Quitting

After a year of not drinking alcohol, you lose a significant amount of belly fat. The average is about 13 pounds. More importantly, your risk of mouth, liver, and breast cancers is drastically reduced, and your liver is likely to be functioning normally again.

Life Without Alcohol

Making the change to sobriety isn’t easy, even though the physical improvements are well worth it and you may need the help of alcohol addiction experts. The path to long-lasting recovery is full of twists and turns, making it a good idea to seek help and support to establish healthy coping skills and treat underlying issues. You don’t want to lose the sobriety that you fought so hard for.

Texas Online Impersonation Law Explained By Dallas Criminal Defense Attorney

Dallas, TX, USA, 04/04/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Could you be convicted of a felony in Texas if you create a website called “DumpDonaldTrump.com,” use an unflattering photo of President Trump, and post unfavorable, but true, articles about President Trump, asks John Helms, Dallas criminal defense attorney? What if, as a prank, you create a Facebook page about someone named Bob Smith, called “Bob Smith Is An A@#hole,” you include a photo of Bob Smith, and you make off-color jokes about him? There is a Texas felony that literally covers these situations. Unless prosecutors use common sense and good judgment, that law could be abused and applied to situations it was clearly not meant to cover.

Back in 2011, the Texas Legislature passed a law in response to a growing number of incidents in which people used social media to pretend to be someone else in order to harass, stalk, or defraud other people. For example, a man might create a fake social media site in his ex-wife’s name in order to make it appear that she is a prostitute and is seeking business.

That law is section 33.07 of the Texas Penal Code. Its title is “Online Impersonation.” It says “a person commits an offense if the person, without obtaining the other person’s consent and with the intent to harm, defraud, intimidate, or threaten any person, uses the name or persona of another person to:

(1) create a web page on a commercial social networking site or other Internet website; or

(2) post or send one or more messages on or through a commercial social networking site or other Internet website, other than on or through an electronic mail program or message board program.

The Texas Online Impersonation statute makes the crime a third-degree felony. That is the same degree as a third DWI or theft of over $30,000. So, it is very serious.

At the time this law was passed, Texas already had a law against online harassment, which was a much less serious Class B misdemeanor. That law is still on the books. Presumably, therefore, the Texas Legislature had something in mind other than just harassing someone.

To see how this law can be abused, let’s go back to our examples.  The “Dump Donald Trump” website literally uses President Trump’s name and a photo of him without his consent. Since it collects and publishes unfavorable articles about President Trump, its intent is arguably to “harm” him, such as by reducing his re-election chances or reducing his ability to raise campaign funds.

What about the prank? It also uses Bob Smith’s name, has a photo of him, and has off-color jokes that he might consider offensive or harassing, thus constituting intended “harm.”

The Trump website is core protected speech under the First Amendment. Presumably, a judge would hold that trying to criminalize it violates the First Amendment. But to get that point, an accused person may have to spend a lot of money on lawyers, would be subject to the stigma of being accused of a crime, would probably get a lot of hate mail, and might be pressured to take a plea deal for a lower charge.

The prank is less clearly protected by the First Amendment. But should a prosecutor be able to charge that this prank is a felony? A Class B misdemeanor for online harassment would be more appropriate than a felony charge, but even that seems pretty harsh.

In both of these examples, though, the accused did not try to trick viewers of the website or Facebook page into believing that he or she was really Donald Trump or Bob Smith. In other words, the accused did not “impersonate” them. The content of the pages would make that very obvious. Donald Trump would not create a website that advocates dumping him, and Bob Smith presumably would not create a Facebook page saying that he is an a#@hole. Since the law is called “Online Impersonation,” doesn’t that mean that you do not violate the law unless you actually try to impersonate someone?

I have had a prosecutor look me in the face and tell me that the title of the law does not limit how it applies. And in general, it is legally correct to say that the title of a law does not limit the law. Instead, most of the time, the law itself defines what the title means. According to this law, for example, “online impersonation” occurs if a person “uses the name or persona of another person,” whether they are impersonating the other person or not. So, was that prosecutor right?

Not according to the Dallas Court of Appeals and the legislative history of the online impersonation law. In a recent case called Ex Parte Michael Dwain Bradshaw, the Dallas Court of Appeals limited the online impersonation law to situations involving “taking” or “assuming” another’s “identity.” The court did so in order to avoid making the crime so broad that it covers activities protected by the First Amendment. The court relied on the legislative history of the law to conclude that this is what the Texas Legislature meant by the phrase “uses the name or persona of another person.”

Notably, the legislative history of the law recognizes the argument that it could, literally, apply to a “juvenile prank,” but says that prosecutors should use common sense and discretion to apply it only to situations that go beyond causing annoyance.

The Dallas Court of Appeals’ decision is only binding on the counties around Dallas that the court serves. For other parts of Texas, it has persuasive value, but it is not legally binding.

Similarly, the call in the legislative history to use common sense and discretion is not something that can be used to prevent a stubborn prosecutor from defying common sense and charging the online impersonation crime when it is overkill.

An online impersonation case requires a criminal defense lawyer to understand the ins and outs of the online impersonation law and the cases and legislative history interpreting it, as well as the online harassment law. Then, the lawyer must do a thorough investigation of the facts of the case in order to argue that the conduct in the case does not match the crime.

Online impersonation is a serious crime in Texas. Some lawyers may list “online impersonation” on their website as a crime they handle, and they may even have a blurb about the crime that a legal marketing person could write. That does not mean they “specialize” in online impersonation cases or even that they know what they are doing. If you or a loved one have been charged with online impersonation or any other crime in the Dallas area, you should strongly consider hiring someone who really knows the ins and outs of the law. Contact Dallas criminal defense attorney John Helms at (214) 666-8010 or fill out the online contact form. You can discuss your case, how the law may apply and your best legal options to protect your rights and freedom.

Summit Behavioral Health Hosts “FACES” Community Support Group

New Jersey, 04/04/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Summit Behavioral Health, a regional leader in the treatment of substance abuse disorders, has opened its doors and its arms to those in need of addiction treatment, as part of their community outreach.

To learn more about this program visit our website

LEADERSHIP

Under the leadership of Bethany Kassar, Executive Director of Outpatient Services, Summit Behavioral Health’s Doylestown Outpatient Program has grown with the community’s need for quality treatment services. As it turns out, providing industry-leading standards requires more than just working with someone suffering from alcoholism or drug addiction– families have their needs as well.

While family support groups are not often offered by most addiction treatment centers Summit Behavioral Health has recognized the need to offer a more encompassing approach to addiction recovery treatment as research has shown that those suffering from alcoholism or drug addiction have much better long term outcomes when families are part of the treatment program.

FACES

Beginning on April 6, 2017 Summit will be launching a community outreach initiative called #FACES: Families and Communities Embracing Solutions. FACES offers weekly education and peer-to-peer support for anyone, 18 years or older, who has a loved one struggling with addiction. This support group is designed to de-stigmatize drug addiction and alcoholism and give practical information for those who live with or love a person who struggles with this condition, as well as offer a safe space to gain peer support for personal well-being.

Paul Lavella, Director of Alumni Services, will be leading the group and his return to the Summit family brings with it a line of services he has envisioned that takes client care beyond the treatment environment and extends to the families and communities of Summit’s clients. FACES is the first of these programs to be implemented.

About Summit Behavioral Health

Summit Behavioral Health, operates six addiction treatment centers in Doylestown, PA, Union, NJ, West Windsor Township, NJ, Florham Park, NJ and Haverhill, MA and offers detox programs, inpatient and outpatient drug rehab, residential treatment 24/7 and provides teens and adolescents outpatient treatment.

Tractor Trailer Accident Lawyer Discusses Proposals To Increase Speed Limits

Dallas, 04/04/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

When you’re driving on the highway, it can sometimes feel like you’ve somehow ended up in the middle of a NASCAR race instead of your daily commute. With each passing year, people seem to drive faster and faster — and semi-truck drivers are no exception.

Now, a number of states are pushing to raise maximum speed limits — something that safety experts worry will cause more accidents to occur. Furthermore, studies show that faster speeds mean more car and truck accident deaths and injuries.

Some States Want to Push the Limits of Speed

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, some states have already raised their speed limits to unprecedented speeds, leaving many to wonder just how high speed limits in these states can get.

In Montana, South Dakota, Nevada, and Wyoming, the max speed limit was raised to 80 miles per hour in 2015. In Michigan and Washington, speed limits were increased to 75 miles per hour in 2017 and 2015, respectively.

In Montana, state lawmakers also raised the maximum speed limit for trucks to 65 miles per hour.

Research Shows Speed Kills

Despite the push to increase highway speed limits, studies show that faster speeds translate to more traffic deaths and more catastrophic accidents.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IHHS) revealed that even a five mile per hour jump in max speeds correlated to an eight percent increase in motor vehicle deaths. The same IHHS study found that there were about 33,000 more traffic deaths between 1995 and 2013 than would have occurred had speed limits not increased.

Texas truck accident lawyer Amy Witherite explains, “A tractor-trailer can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. Semi-trucks also take much longer to stop compared to a typical car.  When the law permits a truck to increase its speed, it stands to reason that crashes will also increase. Higher speed limits have been shown to lead to an increase in fatal and serious crashes.”

Many of the lawmakers behind the higher speed limit laws claim that faster speeds will save motorists money and time. However, getting to your destination a few minutes earlier isn’t worth your safety or your life. When you’re on the road, drive at a speed that ensures your safety. If you have been hurt in a semi-truck collision, don’t compromise your rights by waiting to speak to an experienced truck accident lawyer. Call an experienced Texas truck accident lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your case.

The Dangers Of Driving At Dawn By Philadelphia Car Accident Lawyer Rand Spear

Philadelphia, PA, USA, 04/04/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Daylight savings time means many of us are driving to work in the dark. If you add to this the fact many of us are in a rush to get to work, may not be getting enough sleep and are distracted behind the wheel, it’s a dangerous time to be on the road says Philadelphia car accident lawyer Rand Spear.

Driving in low, changing light can be dangerous for any driver, but can be especially challenging for older drivers due to changes in vision, according to AARP. They have the following suggestions for driving at dawn, dusk and in the dark.

Make sure your exterior lights are working.

Make sure all your lights (headlights, taillights, brake lights and signals) are working properly and are clear of ice or snow. Next time you have your car inspected ask if your headlights are aimed correctly and adjust them if they’re not. Fully functional lights will help you see other vehicles and make it easier for other vehicles to see you.

Use your headlights the correct way.

You should use your headlights all day, including dusk and dawn. Some vehicles automatically have them on when the vehicle is operating. Only use high beams when there’s no oncoming traffic and when it’s necessary, such as if there are no street lights. If you live in a more rural area using your high beams can make the road appear more clearly and you may be able to better see pedestrians and animals off to the side of the road.

Be aware of vision changes.

As we age it’s common for vision changes to impact our ability to see well in low light, such as during at dusk and dawn. An older driver may need more light to see properly and limited lighting conditions can affect depth perception, color perception, contrast sensitivity and peripheral vision.

Avoid unnecessary dangers.

Driver fatigue is far more likely when driving at dusk, dawn or night. Before leaving in the morning get enough sleep. Don’t underestimate the value of sleep. It’s a necessity, not a luxury. Not only will you feel better throughout the day if you’re well rested you’re less likely to get into an accident.

Don’t drive while distracted. Don’t check your emails, text co-workers, check and respond to voice mails, eat breakfast, put on makeup or use your morning drive as the time to use your electric razor. Morning traffic jams on highways leading into Philadelphia are practically guaranteed. You may be tempted to multi-task while traffic creeps ahead. Stay focused on driving no matter how fast or slow you are going.

As the year progresses the sun rises earlier so your morning commute should be better lit and safer. You just need to get through these dark, spring mornings and drive safely to lower the risks of an accident.

If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, contact an experienced motor vehicle accident lawyer right away. Your lawyer can answer your questions and help you determine the next steps in your case.

Call Philadelphia car accident lawyer Rand Spear today at 877-GET-RAND today to discuss your case with a knowledgeable vehicle accident attorney.

Virginia Governor Pardons Four Men Wrongfully Convicted Of Sexual Assault

Dallas, 04/04/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

As reported in the Washington Post, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe recently pardoned four men who were wrongfully convicted of the 1997 sexual assault and murder of an 18-year-old woman.

The police detective in charge of the original investigation is now serving time in prison for police misconduct in an unrelated case. He was convicted in 2010 of accepting payments from defendants in exchange for negotiating reduced sentences on their behalf.

False Confessions Led to Murder Convictions

According to the report, the case attracted a massive amount of media coverage at the time, and the alleged attackers — all sailors in the Navy — were dubbed the “Norfolk Four.” Three of the men were convicted of rape and murder, and a fourth man was convicted of rape. The men were serving life sentences when an inmate serving time for an unconnected crime wrote a letter confessing that he committed the crime and had acted alone.

Although the men had been conditionally pardoned in 2009, they were still required to register as sex offenders. The full pardon is the final step in clearing their names.

At the time of the men’s arrest, police interrogators threatened them with the death penalty. Two of the accused pleaded guilty and then testified against the other two. Shockingly, the inmate who confessed to the crime wrote his confession in 1999 — while the prosecutions against the innocent men were still ongoing. Despite knowledge of this confession — and the fact that the men’s DNA did not match any of the evidence collected at the crime scene — prosecutors pressed for life sentences.

The Innocence Project filed clemency petitions on behalf of the men in 2005. They discovered that the police in charge of the investigation had evidence at the time of the actual killer committing another rape in the exact same apartment complex within two weeks of the crime.

In 2016, a federal judge stated in an evidentiary hearing in the clemency case, “By any measure, the evidence shows the defendants’ innocence … no sane human being could find them guilty.” In October 2016, the Virginia attorney general’s office admitted it had made mistakes in the case.

Why Do Innocent People Confess?

Although it’s hard for many people to believe, false confessions happen with alarming frequency. Stats from the Innocence Project show that one in four people wrongfully convicted but later exonerated by DNA evidence confessed to a crime they didn’t commit.

In many cases, police interrogators use intense psychological duress to pressure an individual to confess to a crime. They might threaten violence or a harsh sentence. In other situations, the accused doesn’t truly understand what they’re confessing to. However they happen, false confessions have been responsible for putting innocent people in jail — truly a miscarriage of justice.

Life & Food Inc. Launches A New Probiotic Designed For Women

San Francisco, 04/04/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Life & Food Inc. announces the launch of a new probiotic for women, one that features specifically designed strains that help females. This includes strains such as B. infantis, L. fermentum, L. reuteri and many more. The 15 powerful strains in the women’s probiotics allow the product to stand out from competitors, as most products designed for women have eight strains or less. The greater variation of strains help a woman’s gut and positive bacteria flourish even more.

“Women are under more stress than ever before. Many try to balance work and home life, while juggling a marriage, personal relationships and more. As a result, their health may suffer, often in the form of gut issues. The probiotics help to balance the gut, of great importance in overall health. Our goal is to improve women’s health and digestive care with this product, and the 15 strains allow our product to truly stand out in the crowd,” Sarah, spokesperson for Life & Food Inc., explains.

The new probiotic for women maintains all of the high quality aspects of the products and formulas offered through Life & Food Inc. This includes third party testing, high quality ingredients and no GMO or stearates. Women need to know that what they put into their body will improve their health, not do more harm. This probiotic meets this requirement.

“The new women’s product contains an extremely effective probiotic formula (Sunfiber Guar Fiber) and time release technology. In addition, it contains activ-polymer vials (CSP) technology to ensure the products remain fresh and potent for an extended period of time. Furthermore, it is made in a kosher approved facility, thus everyone can make use of this product without worry,” Sarah continues.

Probiotics benefit women in a number of ways. The gut contains more than 100 trillion microorganisms, and any disruption in the balance of these microorganisms can lead to health issues. In addition to improving gut health, probiotics also help women maintain and/or improve their vaginal health, such as those who suffer from recurring yeast infections.

“The detailed articles and posts found on the blog, along with the FAQs page, are extremely helpful to those who are searching for the best possible solution when it comes to digestive supplementation” Sarah states. Visit our site to obtain more information about probiotics for women.

Boulder, Colorado, USA, 04/04/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

While some individuals may feel life begins to slow down after 50, many others are eager to engage in an active and fulfilling life for a much longer number of years. ELO50 is on its way to create chapters in Colorado, and 26 other major cities throughout the U.S. over the next six years, to provide an opportunity for people 50+ to be active, engaged and contribute long after retirement.

What Do You Know About Your Right To Counsel?

Dallas, 04/03/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

No matter how many police or courtroom dramas you’ve watched, few things can truly prepare you for being taken into police custody or questioned by the cops. When your blood pressure is spiking and your heart is beating out of your chest, it’s easy to forget your rights — assuming you understand them in the first place.

According to the School of Public Affairs at the American University in Washington, D.C., 90 percent of Americans currently incarcerated were represented by public defenders, and 80 percent of Americans believe that the nation’s public defenders don’t have the time to properly handle their caseloads. Another 70 percent said that their public defender was doing a “fair” or “poor” job on their defense case.

When Does Your Right to a Lawyer Start?

The right to counsel is found in the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, however, it only applies to felony offenses. Furthermore, the right to counsel wasn’t extended to state felony prosecutions until 1963, when the U.S. Supreme Court extended the right to counsel in Gideon v. Wainwright. Although criminal defendants today have a right to counsel in both state and federal felony prosecutions, there is no right to counsel in state non-felony cases.

Furthermore, an individual must be able to show that they are financially unable to hire their own lawyer. If they satisfy this burden, the court must appoint a public defender free of charge. In some jurisdictions, the court might appoint a local attorney, with the taxpayers picking up the cost of the attorney’s fees.

Another subject that tends to generate confusion is the right to receive Miranda warnings (also sometimes called “Miranda rights”). Specifically, people often wonder when police are required to inform you of your right to stay silent, your right to counsel, and all the other rights police officers and detectives rattle off in Hollywood movies.

The reality is that the police don’t have to inform you of your Miranda rights until they subject you to “custodial interrogation.” This means you must be in police custody — and not free to leave — and the police must be actively asking you questions about a crime or asking you questions calculated to prompt you into making an incriminating statement.

As you might imagine, there is gray area when it comes to what qualifies as being “in police custody,” as well as what types of police questions count as interrogation. If you suspect the police abused their authority, or you believe they violated your constitutional rights, it’s important to speak with a criminal defense lawyer about your case.
