  3. Not cultivating with the right attitude towards addiction treatment may mean that it calms down and remains that way. Recovery can be a very challenging time even when the person is highly motivated and has the right attitude. People who are not ready to change or who are just trying to fake it to make the program or system work will not get the help they need and deserve because they have the wrong attitude.
  4. Not cultivating a strong and comprehensive support system is one of the biggest and most common mistakes you can make.
