How Routines Can Make You More Productive
Establishing healthy daily routines is not only part of addiction treatment, but it is a hallmark of highly productive people as well. The structure and routine found in sober living programs and facilities encourage daily progress, positive thinking, and commitment to the goals of remaining sober and establishing a new healthier way of living. By creating your own established routines as you leave treatment, you take this new skill to a new level, using what you have learned to teach yourself to improve all areas of your life.
