Taking Responsibility for Personal Possessions
Many times when people are caught up in active addiction or substance abuse they begin to not take care of their belongings. It’s not due to being a “bad person“ but rather a shift in priorities. When a person is addicted to a particular substance, it becomes the main focus of their lives and everything else tends to take a back seat. In the Personal Values course, students begin to see the way their substance abuse affected every area of their lives, by being able to recognize this they are then able to take steps to change their behavior and build personal responsibility.
“Writing my up my harmful acts toward physical objects has shown me in order to be a better person I need to take better care of my belongings.”
