Staying sober is perhaps the most challenging part of long term recovery. Of course, getting off the stuff is hard, but once we are separated, what do we do next? The issue usually lies within ourselves. If we get clean and do not form a productive life with passion and happiness, we are screwed. That’s why at Real Deal, we focus on building a completely new life. In fact, sobriety is just the beginning. Diet, exercise, hobbies, personal connections, employment, and complete productivity is what makes people remain sober long term.
