Daily Homework
by: Dr Harry Henshaw
We learn much of what we learn initially through repetitious exposure. It is by becoming present to something repeatedly that space is created for us to learn anew. It is by taking that which we are exposed to and bringing it forth into our life, committing it to action, that we begin to change or transform our life in some way. This is especially true with respect to the possibilities made available through transformation. The DAILY HOMEWORK is about the creation of possibilities for transformation.
The DAILY HOMEWORK is not a replacement or alternative to a person’s work in recovery. The DAILY HOMEWORK is not a replacement or alternative for the 12 Step Program. What the DAILY HOMEWORK does is support a person’s integrity and commitment with respect to recovery. The principles of the DAILY HOMEWORK are designed to a person to stay present to every day and to practice bringing forth into his life. The promise of the DAILY HOMEWORK is that the space for recovery to happen will be created if the principles are learned lived.
PRINCIPLES of the DAILY HOMEWORK
1. To take complete ownership and responsibility for your life. Understand that you have created and chosen your life the way it is occurring. You are the cause of what you experience and your life.
2. Watch your word! Stay present to what you think and say. Choose to say positive things about yourself and others. What you think and say creates your experiences of how life will occur and be for you.
3. Practice your Self Affirmations and Possibilities everyday. Say your Self Affirmations and Possibilities in the morning, throughout the day and before bedtime.
4. What is your Intention? Plan your Intention each morning upon awakening and stay present to it throughout the day. What are you committed to today? What are you committed to now? What is it that you want to create in your life? What is it that you want to create now?
5. Develop your RECOVERY PLAN. Plan your work. Your RECOVERY PLAN is about your life. Your RECOVERY PLAN is about your Integrity. Integrity is the bottom line. Are you in integrity with your RECOVERY PLAN. Are you in Integrity with your life?
6. Develop your DAILY ACTION PLAN. Work your plan. Do it everyday! Your DAILY ACTION PLAN is about your commitment and integrity with respect to your RECOVERY PLAN. Your DAILY ACTION PLAN is about fulfilling on your intention and commitments. Your DAILY ACTION PLAN is about keeping your RECOVERY PLAN in existence!
7. Acknowledge yourself and others daily. Acknowledge the miracles in your life. Practice affirming that every moment of your life is a miracle.
8. Practice patience! Remember that you are doing the best you can. At the moment that we do we do the best we can. When you know more, you will do things differently. Do this in regards to others too.
9. Share with others what you are getting out of your recovery.
10. STAY HUNGRY FOR YOUR RECOVERY!
For transformation and recovery to take place, it is important for us to get it that we are responsible for our life, that such responsibility is generated from our thoughts and word, that life can be transformed through the creation of possibilities, that it is important for us to become intentional about our creating, that we can support such a creative action through structure and repetition, that it is important to acknowledge ourselves through the process while being patient with the journey, that it is vital to the very nature of our transformation for us to share our possibilities with others through enrollment and for us to remain hungry for transformation.
As a licensed psychotherapist at the Holistic Addiction Treatment Program in North Miami Beach, Florida, and in my private practice I am committed to generating the space to have a conversation about the principles of the DAILY HOMEWORK. It is in the space that is created for this conversation for transformation that possibilities can be created for a person’s recovery and life. The conversation is about enrolling one into creating a possibility for their life, a possibility that did not exist before the conversation. The DAILY HOMEWORK is given to clients everyday to support their transformation and recovery from drugs and alcohol. The conversations within group counseling sessions and individual psychotherapy are conducted from the principles of the DAILY HOMEWORK. Eventually these conversations are about becoming committed to a new way of life, a life of sobriety, and giving up an old and familiar way of being and the counter commitments to recovery. The commitment to transformation and recovery is about making a choice to live fully as opposed to one of dying.

Some Facts About Drug Addiction And Its Treatment
Drug addiction is increasing at an alarming rate all over the world; millions of people get addicted to some kind of drugs every year. The most shocking fact- the main victims of drug addiction are the teenagers. The questions that should come following the previous statement are why the teenagers get addicted to drugs and where from do they get these deadly drugs. There are several reasons for a teenager to get addicted to drugs. Addiction does not just from the first usage of any kind of drugs. It is a slow process and with prolonged usage people get physically and mentally dependent on drugs. Addictions to drugs have several reasons, sometime people start taking drugs just for fun, sometimes they do it because of depression and loneliness, it has also been seen that teenagers start taking drugs just to show their caliber in front of their friends, and there are various more reason due to which people start taking drugs.
Previously, drug addicts used to depend upon the mass killer drugs like heroin, cocaine etc. but nowadays they have shifted over to the painkillers. All of these drugs contain opiate, which are derivative of the poppy plant. This opiate affects a certain region of human brain which controls the perception of pleasure. The painkillers contain a little dosage of these opiates. Taking few painkillers at a time is enough for experiencing a heightened feeling. Even after trying level best the govt. of several countries have failed to stop drug addiction, when the govt. banned the lethal drugs like cocaine or morphine the addicts started taking painkillers which cannot be banned because of the medical usage.
However, there is one way using which
1000
this addiction to drugs can be stopped from a person and this is the treatment in the drug rehabilitation centers. Hundreds of drug rehabilitation centers have grown up all over the world and most of them provide excellent services for complete rehabilitation of an addicted person. But, all drug rehabilitation centers are not capable of curing an addict completely; there have been such incidents when the addicted person ran away from the rehab being unable to tolerate the pain of the withdrawal effects. It has also been seen sometimes that the drug addicts get back to their addiction after treatment from a drug rehabilitation center. However, there are some world class rehabs which guarantee the complete rehabilitation of a drug addicted person and they succeed to do so.
Addiction recovery is a difficult process; it takes months to recover completely from this deadly disease. Curing does not only depend on the rehabilitation center, the addicted person must have the equal responsibility of getting cured. Drug addiction does not affect the body of a person only, it damages the mind more. In a drug rehabilitation center when the person’s body gets used to not taking drugs, his mind craves for it. Certain withdrawal effects show up which reaches a severe condition sometimes. Treatment in a drug rehabilitation center is the only way to get completely cured and uproot drug addiction from one’s mind and body.
