12 Steps to Recovery

Corrie on January 28, 2014


Most 12 step programs run along similar principles, with certain elements tailored to fit the needs of people  sharing the same addiction—to alcohol, drugs, smoking, gambling, etc.

If you know someone who has an addiction, what can you do? The first step is Encouraging a Loved One to Get Help for Addiction.

As a friend or family member works hard to recover from an addiction and make a genuine life change, they should have the support and encouragement of loved ones to aid the healing process. What can you do to help?

Learn the language of addiction recovery so you’ll gain a better understanding.

Be patient because healing takes time and recovering from an addiction is a slow and steady process.

Listen when your loved one is ready to talk.

Talk to someone or get therapy or counseling yourself. Addiction affects the whole family and at the difficult beginning of the sobriety process, an addict is usually occupied with their own recovery, not your feelings.

When you want to acknowledge a loved one’s milestones on the road to recovery or a recovery anniversary or birthday, or give some encouraging words, Greeting Card Universe offers uncommon 12 Step Addiction Recovery Cards in a number of unique categories.

Need cards in a hurry? Order on-line, get free in-store pickup, usually within one hour, at most Target and Bartell Drug Stores.

Self-Improvement Makes People Feel Better

Corrie on January 22, 2014


People choose to have cosmetic surgery to change something about themselves—to correct defects caused by birth defects, trauma, cancer, aging, etc. or to improve self-esteem by fixing a personal flaw.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the most common cosmetic surgery procedures are breast augmentation or reduction, nose reshaping, eyelid surgery, liposuction and facelifts.  In the United Stares, more than 14 million plastic surgery procedures are performed each year.

For some, a new year is the right time to start considering a new look. Making a New Year’s resolution for a makeover to look younger or slimmer is fairly common.

If you know someone who has recently done a little  self-improvement, send a unique and personalized Get Well/Feel Better – Plastic/Cosmetic Surgery card from Greeting Card Universe to give them your warmest wishes for their recovery. When the healing is done, give the gift of a smile with a Congratulations – Plastic/Cosmetic Surgery card. Choose from one of a kind designs, order on-line and we’ll mail your card the next business day!

Never Too Late to Educate

Corrie on January 16, 2014


One of the top New Year’s resolutions made by many people is to get more or better education – such as attending a trade or vocational  school or going to college. There’s no age limit and earning a degree in a chosen professional can help with employment opportunities or be the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.

According to the American Council of Education, more adults age 25-60 are returning to school looking for the knowledge they need to begin new careers or new business ventures.

Whether someone you know is entering a university, taking classes to earn a degree, or furthering their education, or working to achieve an educational goal, offer them encouragement, support and acknowledgement with Congratulations – College/School Acceptance  cards.

And when they’ve done well, give them a boost with Congratulations – Graduation – Trade/Vocational/Career School cards and let them know how proud you are of their achievements. Many professions are represented including firefighter, CPA, dentist, cosmetologist, medical/healthcare, and much more.
