I am watching one of my favorite movies of all time, it is kind of a Christmas tradition. I'm sure all of you have seen it many times as well. Jimmy Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life". It doesn't matter how many times I see it, the story pulls me in every time. It is about all the people we touch in our lives, and how we impact them. I think everyone has some periods in their life where they think the world and their family might be better off without them. The story looks at the point of veiw that nothing could be further from the truth. All the people you touch and help in the world.
Drug rehab may feel kind of like this movie at sometimes. Maybe you feel like a burden on the world. Maybe some of your dreams did not come true. But you are touching other people. By sharing your pain and experience you can make a difference in the lives of those who are going to drug rehab with you. You can make a difference simply by listening, letting others know you care. You can make a difference by being willing to try something new, and trying to learn it even if it feels uncomfortable. You can make a difference simply by refusing to give up. You do make a difference.
