HourPower Watches® Designated the Official Wellness and Recovery Timepiece for Addictions

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) November 9, 2006 -- HourPower Watches® has been designated as the official Wellness and Recovery Timepiece (www.hourpowerwatches.com/wellness-recovery.html) by the National Association of Addiction Professionals (NAADAC). HourPower Watches® are beautiful high quality wristwatches that open like a locket or pocket watch. They contain a secret chamber that reveals a space for interchangeable brass discs with selected AA slogans, medals, and inspirations.

These patented, unique watches were invented by a clinical psychologist to support growth and achieve permanent and successful change by utilizing a cognitive behavioral technique. NAADAC recognized their potential as an official tool for Wellness and Recovery to support recovering alcoholics and drug users.

It is now possible to have a quiet space in a busy day to anchor one's thoughts and intentions. Open the watch and the message returns the wearer to their central focus, or to whatever provides meaning and commitment in overcoming their addiction. Marc M., a recovering alcoholic in AA reports, "this simple technique gives me a wonderful feeling of energy and resolve at exactly the moment I need it."

Wearers of these unique watch have also said it links them to their goals, creates a feeling of a constant presence verifying the work in treatment, imparts an immediate sense of support and calm when opening the watch and focusing on their words, and offers a visualization of their sponsor and their conversations. Jane T., another recovering member says that, "the watch is a real touchstone in times of difficulty -- whenever I have a doubting moment, it reminds me of what I am doing this for."

Says Cynthia Moreno, Executive Director of NAADAC, "we believe that the HourPower Watch® has the power of creating possibilities -- connecting people with their commitment to sobriety and helping deliver the words they need to stay actively involved in working the program and overcoming their addiction. The benefits of utilizing this product during recovery will be immediate and long lasting."

Covered by a 60-day refund or exchange policy and one-year warranty, these custom timepieces are a wonderful gift to recovering family members and/or friends. Paul Medvido, CEO for HourPower Watches®, has announced that a packet of five interchangeable brass discs with selected AA slogans for placement in the hidden chamber (a value of $14.95) will be given as a gift with each watch purchase because the company is so committed to supporting the recovery process. The discs can be changed in a few seconds at any time without any tools.
