The first step I think it is to realize how much you've accomplished by being in the program.
Then take a good look at who you are now, versus who you were when you entered into it. Your'e different aren't you? Make a commitment to yourself that you will stay clean and sober, and try to stay committed to it.
And by all means, find a support group as Dadpad suggested...it can make a world of difference, because if nothing changes, then nothing changes.
