They say the devil is in the details, and so it is in drug rehab as well. Details are that two edged sword that if you do not deal with the proper balance, trouble is sure to follow. If you do not deal with the details, nothing ever get accomplished. However at the same time you can never let details direct your attention and focus. Sounds like it is impossible … right?
Not really, but again you have to be careful how you ask yourself questions, or you will misdirect your time and effort. Drug rehab is about behavior change. Behavior change is about quality questions. Start your process each day with a couple of these. Firstly, "What one thing can I do today, that will have the MOST impact on my sobriety and my drug rehab program? What is the second most important thing?"
This will give you the focus you need. Then try this question. "Is there any details or clutter I need to clear up today so I can focus on what is truly important?" This will provide the balance we all need. If there are some housekeeping type items that must be taken care of so they do not intrude on the focus of your drug rehab program, then by all means get them out of the way. This combination of questions helps you keep focused on the big picture. It also help keep away all the little pictures in drug rehab, from blurring the big picture. Give it a try and have a great day!
