Setting realistic, achievable goals is a cornerstone of lasting recovery. The S.M.A.R.T. Method (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-based) provides a structured way to build a life that supports sobriety.

During alcohol rehab, some objectives you might focus on include:
- Restoring your health through good sleep, nutrition, and exercise
- Staying committed to meetings and therapy
- Learning strategies to manage stress and anxiety
- Rebuilding relationships and your social life
