Rehab Blog
January 14th, 2008 by Terry Keith
When I am writing this rehab blog, I can not help but get nosey and see what other people writing in the rehab blog field are also doing. While doing this I had one of those "aha" moments when you figure out your onw view of the world sometimes keep you from seeing the big picture. You see, because I am seeing the world through the eyes of someone in the drug rehab field, rehab has one meaning in my head. Rehab is a place where you go to get off drug abuse and alcohol abuse. Guess what the number one blog on google with the term rehab is? It is about rehab for physical injuries. Car accicdents, sports injuries, and post surgury to get back all the mobility life requires.
I really started to laugh. The neat thing about getting older is all the things you learn, and the experience you have. However it is those very things that may form a set of glasses that you view the world through. It is not that this is wrong, it is just that you need to be reminded of it once in a while. So I read the number one rehab blog on google and quite enjoyed it. I also learned a little bit about myself along the way.

OK I am a new guy here just working the night shift here at a rehab facility. I had been a client and then decided to work for the owner. It’s been 5 months now and i keep slipping in and out of the reality aspect, the fact that I have nothing left because of my addiction. I have come to believe that I am a “New Beginnings” junkie. Always pushing the envelope in relapse mode and checking in all over again. telling myself there is a ray of light in the future, and I can someday be all that I can be. this is my 4th time around and in my early 40’s thinking I will “have it all” when all is said and done. Of course we need to look at the damage done and if it can be repaired. then actually get a grip on the recovery aspect because after all relapse doesen’t have to be in the mix, that is if I really think I can have it all. but I am half way to the end, I mean if life expectancy is approxamately 80 yrs old I have 39 years to do it all in and I really don’t have the energy left.
I am babbling, it’s late and I have people upstairs going through dt’s, and I think I lost my concentration. So I will go now. Thanks for listening.
