While you are in a drug or alcohol rehab program you can take the time to figure out some of the basics in your life. Often we can get involved in an addiction if we haven’t found a real purpose in our life. A purpose is the overall theme or reason for what we get up for in the morning. For some people it can be, being a fair and kind person, in a ruthless business world. Raising sane and balanced kids can be another purpose. Buidling homes that will last 100 years can be another.

A purpose will allow you to grow and stretch yourself. It will allow you to gain skills you never thought you can aquire. A purpose will help you to build a legacy in your life. But a purpose will also help you stay clean and sober. If you are in love with want you do and why you do it, abusing drugs or alcohol no longer fits in with your core picture of yourself. It will add that valuable component of structure to your life.

Take the time to dream of what you love to do while in a rehab program. Reconnect with you dreams of what you what to become and build. Relight the kid in your heart that thinks you can be anything you want. If you really don’t desire and want to be something else, it is very easy to just stay being an addict.
