You can take some chances without permanent consequences. If you have felt you whole life you wanted to be more social and connected to other people, why not be that person in drug rehab. Go out and talk to everyone in the drug rehab center you are in. If you seem clumsy at it, blame it on the detox and your head not being clear. If you always wanted to be more of a leader in life, volunteer for everything at the rehab. Ask for things you can do to assist in the drug rehab program.&nbs! p; Be an advocate for those who are withdrawn and quiet. Ask fo rtheir opinion and voice it to the group, and let them know you value them.
Hey if you are going to be a sober person, you get to choose what kind of sober person you are going to be. It does not have to be just a non-using version of the old you. It can be a whole new you with characteristics and traits you wish you always had. Drug rehab for many clients is starting all over. Learning life skills and learning to live in ways they may have never lived before. The best part of staring over, is starting over. Stop and think of the kind of person you would like to be in a drug rehab. Then become that person.
