When facing drug rehab and addiction sometimes it may seem overwhelming. Everyone has moments of despair. There may be moments when it seems like it is hopeless and everything you try will fail. There is a simple solution that at times may help you break this mental block. If you are faced with a change such as is required in a drug rehab program and you find you are stuck, mentally assume another identity.
Here is what I mean. Think of all the people you know in your life. Decide which one is the most competent in a crisis. Think of the one with the ability to turn around a bad situation. I have one friend in my life who above all others has these skills. So many times when facing a tough problem, I ask myself, "What would Dave do in theis situation? How would Dave procede?" Many times your brain will immediately come back with, "you are not Dave and that is why you are in this mess!" Don't be mislead. Simply ask yourself the question again or as many times as you have to. Sooner or later you will start to come up with quality answers. Stay in the persona of this repected person as you start to take action. "How quickly would Dave act on this?" "How would Dave act and handle himself in front of other people while doing this?"
By assuming Dave's identity for a while it can short circuit the voice in your head saying, "you can never do this". Maybe you can't do this, but Dave can. Sometimes in drug rehab, all you need is to get unstuck and take some action. This is the very tool for just doing such a thing.
