The time periods at drug and alcohol rehab vary between 28 and 90 days or sometimes even longer. During that long a period there are bound to be at least a few times where the desire and the conviction to change wane. If your desire to change slips to too low a level you may make the decision to quit or give up. With the treatment of drug and alcohol addiction this can lead to diasterous results.

There are all the obvious ways ,such as daily goals, exercise, and monitoring your progress. Sometimes listening to something motivational, about someone who has overcome tremendous odds can help. It’s even better if it is not neccessarily about addiction. Hopefully the rehab center you are with is giving you enough examples of people overcoming addiction.

A great little video I came across is one by Lance Armstrong. His story is really incredible and really helps you believe in the power of the human spirit. Watching it daily for the period of your rehab treatment could really help. It is quite expensive, but not when compared to the overall cost of a trip to rehab, and the overall cost of addiction. you can veiw a sample of it by clicking here. Change is change. It always doesn’t have to be about drugs and alcohol in rehab. Inspiration can be found anywhere.
