Why 12 step programs don't work.

Details and Drug Rehab

May 24th, 2007 by Terry Keith

Sometimes in life and drug or alcohol rehab, it all boils down to details.  We all know the big stuff is important, and yet sometimes all the big things can get unravelled over the small repetitive but important things in life.  If you don't put gasoline in a car, it doesn't matter how well tuned it is or how expensive it was, it will not run.  For you to get what you need from a drug rehab program you need to take care of the details.  Getting up for breakfast.  Reading your assignments before going to class or group.  Showing up for you sessions on time.  Getting enough sleep.

Those are the obvious details.  Here are some of the not so obvious ones.  Doing your laundry, so you have clothes ready to wear when you get up.  Haing a shower and getting dressed in something that is ready to go will make for a stress free start to your day.  Walking or exercising EVERY day.  This is a sure fire way to get a better sleep.  Spending 10 minutes a day meditating on what you are grateful for in your life.  Spending 10 minutes every day entering and going through a day timer.  All little things, but for the important things like sobriety and a great life, very essential things
