Two elements that form a large difference to sobriety and and a quality life are exercise and meditation.  Both of these will have a very large impact on your health and state of mind.  Both of these create cumulative effects when practised regularily.  However there will be days

when you really don't feel like doing either.  There will be days when your schedule doesn't seem to have room for either.  It is precisely considering of those days, you want to place what's vital first.  When you first get out of bed, do some exercise, or meditation.  whether you really want to have it going for you do both.  Setting your alarm, and getting up and dedicating the first 30 or 40 minutes to you and your body is a wondrful habit to acquire.  Why not put in place while you are in a drug and alcohol rehab program?  By doing these first it will manufacture certain you are able to carry on during those rocky moments of progress we all go through.
