Health Lessons from De-Addicition programs

Let me start by saying this is no way to dilute the menace of addiction or quick overview of de-addiction program. Rather this post tries to draw lessons from de-addiction programs and help in getting back to health journey. Let's jump right in

Taking one day at a time

 There are some days which you feel energetic and then there are some where you feel you are slogging and demotivated. That's our first lesson right there. Just do the right this for today. Its okay. You will feel better tomorrow.

Don't get tempted
