This is what I learned during my time at a drug treatment center: We are our own masters. It sounds corny, I know…and I guess maybe it is corny, coming from a guy who was so hooked on junk that he had to swallow his pride and enroll in a drug treatment center program…but it’s the truth. And anyone who doesn’t get it doesn’t stand one chance in a million of ever getting sober.
The point of drug treatment centers isn’t to do the hard work for you. You don’t check into a drug treatment center and then just wait to get healed; you work for it, and you fight for it, and you struggle in a way that makes you realize you’d never understood what “struggle†really meant.
But here’s the the thing: It works. And when you get to the end, you get that it works because of you.
Beating drug addiction in a drug rehab center is about effort, and about will. Yeah, you need help to get clean…but you’ve got to be the one to use that help, to make it matter. You are your own master, in the end. If you want your drug treatment center program to work for you, it will. Because you’ll make it work. Nothing else could ever be more important than that.
