LIFE SKILLS
Ten Tips for Maintaining Long-Term Sobriety
In the beginning stages of addiction recovery, a lifestyle of long-term sobriety may feel out of reach. Thankfully, a sober lifestyle is not only possible; it is also very achievable when a person takes the necessary steps to create a better life for themselves.
Addiction Relates to Lack of Life Skills
Loss of life skills is part and parcel of being addicted. So it stands to reason that regaining those skills is an essential part of recovery. The more thoroughly these skills are rebuilt (or built for the first time), the more likely it is that sobriety will last.
Does Your Drug Rehab Program Focus on Life Skills?
There are all kinds of drug rehab programs in the world. In our history of over fifty years, we have seen clearly that those who become addicted lose their life skills. Drug or alcohol addiction robs a person of many skills he had before he was addicted, and a person who became a heavy drug user early never developed them.
Life Skills and Their Relation to Recovery
A person needs to gain the life skills they need to stay sober. Sometimes, a person never developed these skills before becoming addicted, and sometimes a person loses these skills, especially when addiction goes on for a long time.
