As Shakespeare once famously wrote, “To thine own self be true.” 

So how does one run their own race in life and endeavor in recovery to be a master of one passion instead of a jack-of-all-trades?  

Let's discover how to pace ourselves along the way!

The purpose of remaining focused at all times is for clarity of direction on the road ahead in recovery. No need to make unnecessary diversions along the way by second-guessing yourself. For the speaker, being focused also worked to curtail emotional distress. 

Let's learn from some valuable practices!

Reconstructing the landscape of your life post-rehabilitation gives you that fresh-start and fulfilled feeling of walking into a once disgustingly dirty and disorganized living space that is now in pristine condition after you spent an entire day thoroughly scrubbing it clean from top to bottom! 

How can digging deep from within help you re-access your interpersonal relationships?  How does one tap into the spiritual side they might not have known they possessed to begin the process?  

Maintaining a healthy sobriety post-rehabilitation is a never-ending journey. But it does not mean obsessing about not drinking for the rest of your life – by any stretch of the imagination. Far from it! 

Learn where your focus should be and if done correctly, how your focused habits eventually become second nature.  Learn to attack your weaknesses relentlessly until they are no more. Find joy in the process and work on setting a series of landmarks or SMART plan!

Just because you have decided to get sober and change your life doesn’t mean that the world around you will fall in line and everything will be peaches and cream. You will still be triggered regularly. 

So how do you protect yourself to the point that it becomes second nature? How do you keep from overloading your mind as the proverbial shots are fired? Only then can you well and truly begin to move on with your life in recovery!

Moving forward is virtually impossible when the world insists on shunning you despite your best efforts to present a new image. So, what are you supposed to do when a dark shadow of negativity looms large over your future prospects due to past transgressions?
