In taking a drug and alcohol rehab program, one of the biggest gifts is time to think.  In all our day to day lives many times we don’t take the time to evaluate our prorities.  We all say that family is important.  We all say that love and connection is important.  But is it really?

If we look at our actions, often what we think we really value is not given the top amounts of time and effort in our lives.  Family may be important but finishing the lastest project from the office often ends up taking prority.  When we are not congruent with our real values in our lives something has to give.  This leads to emotional and physical symptoms of stress.  Covering up this pain and stress with drugs or alcohol is often the beginning of addiction.

Time spent in a drug and alcohol rehab program is a golden opportunity to look at the prorities of life.  Being removed from the day to day business of life is a rare and beautiful gift.  Being with a group of people doing the same thing is an even rarer gift.  Take the time to visulalize what is truly the most important things in your life.  Decide what portion of your time and resources will be given to the most important things in your life.  Then we you leave drug and alcohol rehab you will be much clearer about your bottom line in life.  Living with your most important values being cherished and protected will provide true inner strength.  This leads to a wonderful and sober life.
