Sometimes during a stay in a drug and alcohol rehab center clients get bad news from home. Sometimes their spouse or significant other decides to move on while they are in rehab. Sometimes legal issues catch up with them. Sometimes a job will disappear or a business may be lost. Often when this happens, many times the clients want to give up. You often hear statements like I might just as well go back to drugs because I’ve got nothing left to lose. Another version of this is “I tried to do the right thing and I still end up losing.”

So many times in life it always is about perspective. You truly never have nothing left to lose. If you are still breathing and thinking you still have something to lose. Especially if you leave a rehab before completing your treatment. Plus if you think that you have nothing to lose, it actually means you have EVERYTHING to gain. Why would you ever give up an opportunity to gain everything? The quality of the questions you ask during rehab will determine to a large degree your success or a return to addiction. When you get bad news, and we all do in our life, the questions you ask will always determine your future.
