Set Of Beliefs

We are not just another furniture store. We are not like everybody else. We have worked with interior design for more than 60 years. At BoConcept, we have a strong set of beliefs that run through everything we do. In our design. In the respect of our Danish legacy. In all the 60 countries where you can meet us. And in our relationship with you.

A Sofa Should Never Be Egocentric
The world revolves around you. Not your furniture. If you have a small home, we will help to make the most of it. Or a big, triangular house, we will make it fit perfectly. At BoConcept, you can make your own choice in design, size, shape, colour and material. Our concept is all about you, your home and your exciting, personal taste.

Danish Design Is Not Only to be enjoyed by a few Danes
Danish design is our legacy, but a great legacy should always be balanced by innovation and new ideas. BoConcept has taken the great traditions of Danish design to the world's big cities and made it our own. We call it Urban Danish Design. It has the comfort and simplicity from Danish design and the cool vibe from the urban.

Luxury Can Be Overpriced
We live in a world where we often have to choose. Between expensive, elitist design and cheap, common furniture. At BoConcept, we love to create furniture that combines the feeling of luxury in the quality, in the design, in the material, and at a fair and affordable price. We want to spoil you with great value. It is that simple. And it should be that way.

Nobody Likes to Buy Furniture from an Arrogant Snob
Many stores in the world talk about service. We talk about respect and we walk the talk. Respect for your home, respect for your wishes, respect for your ideas and above all, respect for you. Our staff will take it very seriously and never give up unless you are 100% happy. Great design and arrogance are always a bad couple, and we would never invite them over for tea.

Don't Worry
We have had all the worries about matching and fitting. And our interior designers can guide and advise you. BoConcept is all about making your home come together. So that you can enjoy the harmony of an interior look that will last for years.

It Is Sad When You Feel Uncomfortable in a Beautiful Chair
If a good looking sofa kills your back; if a fabric is too delicate to be used; if a design is so fancy, that you can't figure it out - it does not work. BoConcept design will not only look great, but work in your everyday life too. Our designers think about you, and not themselves so our designs look sharp, but you will never cut yourself.

We Don't Want to Be Young Again. Ever
It is great to be young, new and innocent. But not so great to be naive, unexperienced and confused. BoConcept has created Urban Danish Design since 1952. Through three generations, we have learned our lessons. Our craftmanship, quality and concept are all set so that we can spend time focusing on you. Time changes and maybe you change too, but the BoConcept design DNA shouldn’t. Ever.

Tips to Overcome your Alcoholic Tendencies

Alcohol is common: you can find it just about anywhere, and it’s the only drug that’s not just commonly socially recognized but often heavily recommended. Over half of all Americans say they are current drinkers according to data from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

Alcohol’s near-universal existence and widespread reputation are the biggest challenge in recovery from Alcohol Abuse. They are also what can make alcohol addiction more difficult to rebound from than even heroin. In the latter case, there is at least the peace of mind that you don’t have to stumble into your previous drug of choice and appeals to use it just about anywhere you find yourself, be it your local Supermarket, the corner gas station, a neighbor’s dinner party or the church Christmas party.

On that note, Palm Beach Recovery Group has eight tips for getting through your addiction to Alcohol.

1. RECOGNIZE YOUR HIGH-RISK SCENARIOS AND ROLE-PLAY REACTIONS TO THESE REAL AND/OR POTENTIAL TRIGGERS.
A study in South Korea just last year found that “virtual therapy” (the use of virtual reality sessions that mimic real-life situations on a 3D-TV screen) decreased alcoholics’ cravings. Brain scans following the treatment revealed a marked decrease in sensitization to alcohol cues.

Imagining a triggering scenario well in advance may not be virtual therapy exactly, but for a similar effect, it also doesn’t include the expense– namely, quasi exposure without the dangers of relapse. That’s why, beginning early in inpatient treatment, Palm Beach Recovery Group works progressively to recognize and role-play the various situations that come before an urge to drink. (This exercise is best done within the safety of an individual therapy session or with an AA sponsor).
Clients are urged to get as detailed as possible in recognizing high-risk situations that prompted alcohol cravings.

Typical addiction triggers.

What considerations or emotions set off the urgency to drink?
Who were they with?
Where were they, and why?
How did they feel afterwards?
Comparable particulars can then inform visualizations about how a client’s new, sober self will effectively respond to different drinking triggers in the future:
Who will they call when the urge to drink strikes?
Where will they go?
What will they be wearing?
How much money will they spend?
How will they feel after the urge passes and they are still sober?

2. WRITE OUT YOUR RELAPSE PREVENTION PLAN AND CARRY IT WITH YOU EVERYWHERE YOU GO.
This tip speaks for itself. Don’t leave home without that list of names and numbers you’ll call in an urgent situation when the cravings strike, including your step-by-step plan for eluding relapse.

3. GET AS MUCH VICARIOUS EXPOSURE TO INTERNAL CUES TO DRINK AS YOU CAN, BY ATTENDING AA MEETINGS REGULARLY AND FREQUENTLY.
One of the big benefits to taking part in an AA group and going to meetings routinely is this surrogate exposure to alcohol triggers. The method of listening to others share their stories and encounters is a means of becoming more desensitized to internal cues to drink. It’s basically impossible, after all, to avoid certain painful or uncomfortable thoughts, feelings or sensations that once came before an urge to drink when you’re listening to others with often very similar triggers and temptations talk about theirs.

4. GET THE APP A-CHESS.
The app, which was created by researchers at the University of Wisconsin, has reportedly been successful in enhancing alcohol abstinence rates. Among the features is a “panic button” for when the urge to drink hits.

5. FOCUS ON YOUR BREATH AND “URGE SURF”.
A craving is a feeling that will pass, often quickly. The key is to prevent getting hooked to it, by letting it pass and riding the wave as a surfer would. (This NIAAA publication has some helpful and more detailed instructions).

6. DISTRACT YOURSELF.
Find something to do, preferably something that will be fun and appealing and that will help you take your mind off the cravings you’re experiencing.

7. REASON WITH YOURSELF AS YOU WOULD WITH SOMEONE YOU LOVE.
Give yourself a pep talk or checklist of the reasons why you’ll regret taking a drink. Your inner dialogue can be firm, positive and caring, the way you might speak to a dear friend which you love and desire the best for.

8. GO OUTSIDE AND GO ON AN ADVENTURE.
Here at Palm Beach Recovery Group we believe the best course for overcoming your alcoholic addiction cues, is to go outside and enjoy nature. There are extensive clinical studies that suggest staying active outdoors and going on adventures can be more effective during your treatment process and beyond into your life outside of recovery. Geocaching, Yoga, Cycling, Kayaking, and Ropes Courses are just a few ways to spend your time.
