Taking a Trip, Not Taking a Trip

There are so many reasons a person can decide to drink or use drugs. Create a smooth recovery by remember your many reasons not to drink or use. Everyone is different and everyone has their own motivations and passions. Stay focused on those to help you make the right choices throughout your recovery.
