It is important to set goals for yourself in the early stages of recovery. You do not have to set huge goals like saying I will move into a new apartment next month. Rather, try setting simpler goals for yourself, like saying tomorrow and all next week I will take a walk around the neighborhood. Simple goals guide you in the right direction in the recovery process and they give you something to look forward to each day. If you want you can try to set goals before each day begins, this helps in the beginning of the recovery process. As you progress in your recovery you can take a look at different aspects of your life and contemplate about short term and long term goals. Remember setting goals and eventually reaching your goals will give you that feeling of accomplishment which can really go a long way.
