Why are Goals important in recovery?
What are some of your Goals?
Goal setting is the process of determining what you want to achieve, then creating a plan with smaller, actionable items that will help you accomplish your desired result. Having an objective gives you something to focus on and ensures that you can work towards the result. Often, people feel like life is aimless when they are stuck in addiction. Setting goals can create momentum with your progress, help you build confidence and self-esteem, and encourage you to take accountability for the results you are achieving.

True or False: As long as you take it one day at a time, you don’t need a solid plan
False
You always need a direction. Whether you're working on an email, a story, piece of art, or recipe, there should be a plan already in motion. In recovery, make sure you stick to that plan.
