In a drug and alcohol rehab center one the the things you would like to establish is a set of new habits that support totally where you want to go in life.  Many times the difference between success and failure in something is simply carrying on.  Learning new skills and mastering new habits always has some bumps along the trail to mastering them.  It is during the rocky times that success might be measured by simply carrying on.

Two elements that make a large difference to sobriety and and a quality life are exercise and meditation.  Both of these will have a very large impact on your health and state of mind.  Both of these create cumulative effects when practised regularily.  However there will be days when you really don't feel like doing either.  There will be days when your schedule doesn't seem to have room for either.  It is precisely because of those days, you want to place what's important first.  When you first get out of bed, do some exercise, or meditation.  If you really want to have it going for you do both.  Setting your alarm, and getting up and dedicating the first 30 or 40 minutes to you and your body is a wondrful habit to acquire.  Why not put in place while you are in a drug and alcohol rehab program?  By doing these first it will make sure you are able to carry on during those rocky moments of progress we all go through.
