Sometimes in alcohol and drug rehab, clients get downright frustrated when you talk about their purpose in life. Many times I have heard, who cares about my purpose? I just want to stop using drugs and screwing up my life. For the first few weeks to a month, that is the purpose of their life. Soon though, if someone is to stay sober they have to make the switch from a negative goal to a positive goal. If your only goals are NOT to do something, it is a very difficult road. You are always focused on depriving your self.

If you have positive goals which you are striving to achieve something, it is easier and a lot more fun. Fun is sometimes a commodity that is in low supply in a drug rehab center. We need to ad it wherever we can. A person’s purpose in life may be found in the common ground in the answers of three questions. Healthy addiction is found in this common ground as well.

What are you passionate about?

What talents or skills do you have that you can get paid for?

The people in the world who answer the same thing to these three questions are truly the most blessed. At drug rehab why not start down the road of aligning all three? What better time to replace poor values and goals with great ones then when you are taking the time to refocus your life. Drug rehab is about change, and drug rehab is about these three questions.
