We all have things that we hang onto too long. Sometimes it is behaviors that no longer serve us. Sometimes it is a job that is slowly destroying our spirit and drive for life. It could be a firend or lover who no matter how hard we try is not right for us. It simply could be a belief about ourselves or the world. If we have these things in our lives it will add stress. It will add pain. It will add emotional upset.

When you are in a drug and alcohol rehab center is the time to remove these from your life. If you couldn’t do it before, in the safety of the rehab program will be your best chance to remove some these things. You have conselors. You have the structure of the program. You have new and supportive friends. You don’t have the temptation of alcohol or drugs. It will be more difficult to deal with some of these areas when you are finished. Take advantage of the extra support and do a little “housecleaning.” Reducing the stress in you life will firstly improve your health and secondly greatly resuce the chance of relapse.
