In Drug and Alcohol Rehab, like life in general we have a choice to make. It is about the level of effort we will put into the tasks that lay before us. We can make a half hearted effort. We can do nothing. To be successful at most things in life you probably only have to put in a “6″ on a ten scale to get by. Or you can challenge every tough task in front of you with every ounce of talent and effort you have.

Why would you want to put so much effort into something? Is a 95% on a test rally that much better than a 82%. Both are excellent marks. Both will pass with room to spare. So why go for the 95%?

It is because of what it will make out of you. If you go to rehab just to sober up, and you achieve that, everyone will be happy. All you friends and family will probably congratulate you and pat you on the back. However is that what the universe has in store for your life? Only to be sober? Is that the only legacy you wish to leave behind? We are here to learn and love. Be sober is key for that to happen. But to learn and love you have to give a lot more than just a “6″ for effort. Relationships take a lot more time and effort than that. To truly and completely change your life try every task in a rehab program with all of your effort. It’s not about getting every point, it’s about the changes you will have to make in yourself to become the type of person who can get every point. Take care, Terry
