Are there any retreats to go to on the beach that have a program that
helps you learn about your anxiety disorder and to relax and where can
you go for a week or so to totally relax due to being burned out from
work and life duties that teach you Techniques on how to manage stress
and learn about ways to decrease an anxiety disorder that you are born
with?

I have been working over 120 hours a week for the past 2 years in
which I own 2 companies and have so much stress and anxiety from and
then come home to 3 children and my wife which I have little time for.
She and I both think I need a relaxing retreat on the beach that can
help me releive my anxiety and stress and learn how to deal with it.
My health is declining. I've been in the medical implant field for
over 17 years and know own 2 companies that sell the spinal implant
products all over the United States. I have been the #1 distributor
for these products for years but have no real quality of life because
all I do is work. There is a big payoff in the next 3 to five years I
am told and can see from the recent sales results. I smoke two packs
of cigarettes a day and live on caffinated Pepsi. I currently have a
vitamin b12 deficiency which I don't understand what that is as I was
just diagnosed. I need some time away to better my health, stress, and
anxiety problems.  Is there such a retreat or program? I seldom drink
so this is not a rehabilitation problem for drugs and alcohol. Thank
you for any suggestions and information you have.

Do you know of any resorts that have a health and fitness formal
program that also helps you focus on your anxiety and stress
disorders? Personal fitness trainers with a medical staff that works
with you personally on how to relieve anxiety and stress disorders,
quit smoking, and get back on the road to a healthy body and ways to
eleviate stress. This would be something like the burned out Business
owner or Executive who needs to take a month off to get your life back
in order and set boundaries on how much work you should be doing
instead of working over 120 hours a week for the big payoff.

I know there are health spas in europe that specialize in stress
relief and anxiety release for people.  I also know that if you go
online and  research you can locate facilities in the states such as
the Canyon Ranch spa that may be of some help to you.
Good Luck.  If I am able to get a name of location I will add to my
comments in the future.
