We need more good stories in drug rehab. There is nothing as motivating as a good story. Too bad we couldn't take a page from pro sports. One of my favorite things to do is to watch the highlights of the best plays of the week or day. Even if you are not into that particular sport, the highlights are always exciting. Success breeds success. Wouldn't it be great if there were a bunch of short clips we could put together about lives changed after drug rehab. If people in rehab could tune in once a week and see the difference in those who came before them, think how motivating that could be!
It would also be so much more healthy to look at all the success stories, rather than one more story about Britney and Keifer and all their woes. I just think we need some balance out there. The only thing we seem to see in the news about drug rehab are those that are going to avoid legal issues and those who have went and failed. I know bad news sells, but bads news can also keep people from hanging in there and pushing on to success when they are in a drug rehab program. Maybe the guys who do the Intervention show could just have a 5 minute burst on each show of people who made the change. It could be from drug rehabs all over the place, and people who were not even featured on their show. So all you people out there who have moved past addiction, how about some comments on all the blogs out there. Just a couple of words at he right time could make the difference in someone's li! fe.
