If we are truly to continue our journey and make lasting change in addiction treatment, momentum is absolutely essential. Momentum will keep you going on your changes and goals and plans even when everything else fails. The really interesting thing about momentum, is that you have to earn it. For many people it starts in a drug or alcohol rehab facility. The day to day structure of a rehab starts the slow but steady process of building momentum in your plans to change, As you start to believe that you can change, you gain even more momentum and you approach the final stages of your stay in drug rehab. Your reach for tougher and tougher goals. The objective is that as you leave a rehab, the momentum you have built up, combined with your new evergy levels will carry you through any down dime you may have in the first few weeks.

Real change always involves the slow steady process of looking where you are and where you want to be. All the hard work that is begun in rehab is carried on by a high energy level and momentum, so you can raise the standards in your life we talked about. Those higher standards mean a permanent change away from aclohol and drug addiction. Momentum is earned as one small step is linked with another over and over again. It is the relentless effort in the right direction that ultimately means a large scale change will take place. Go out and earn some momentum, start today. There is never a reason to go to rehab after rehab after rehab. Go for the fundamentals, go for a better life.
