After 21 days in treatment the<br \/>\nend is here, but is it really an end? In truth this is just the beginning, a<br \/>\nthin layer has been removed from the outer shells of these addicts and their<br \/>\ntrue essence is just being seen. They are just beginning to see who they are<br \/>\nand who they have the potential to become. Although they are celebrities, their<br \/>\ntoughest role is the one they now face. They must mature into their true selves<br \/>\nand this takes a great deal of energy and steadfast work and commitment to a<br \/>\nprogram of recovery. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Each celebrity was given an opportunity to say a few words<br \/>\nand this is the first glimpse at more discoveries each of them are going to<br \/>\nrealize. Shelly had a message for Frankie that was extremely moving, she told<br \/>\nFrankie that where Frankie had come from, most people don&#8217;t make it back from<br \/>\nand for that Shelly was more forceful with Frankie about the dangers that can<br \/>\ntrigger Frankie in the &#8220;real world&#8221;.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>How<br \/>\nmany individuals that watch the show are either in this late stage of addiction<br \/>\nor have a loved one that is? This shows how powerful Frankie&#8217;s presence on<br \/>\nCelebrity Rehab 4 was, her lifetime of addiction and the concrete walls that<br \/>\nshe had formed around herself were able to be penetrated by a group of<br \/>\nindividuals who honestly cared about her mental, emotional and physical health.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Margaret Mead once said &#8220;Never doubt that a small group of<br \/>\nthoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only<br \/>\nthing that ever has.&#8221; The community that was formed on Celebrity Rehab 4, by<br \/>\nDr. Drew, a staff of committed professionals, has exemplified this profound<br \/>\nstatement and the community formed by the addicts themselves. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Sherry Gaba, LCSW, is a Licensed Psychotherapy, Recovery and Life Coach, and author of &#8220;The Law of Sobriety&#8221;.&nbsp; Contact Sherry at sherry@sgabatherapy.com for more information about her upcoming book signings, workshops, speaking engagements, teleseminars, her affiliate program, and coaching programs.&nbsp; Her website is www.sgabatherapy.com or thelawofsobriety.com.&nbsp; Join Sherry for her first teleseminar January 26 6 pm PT.&nbsp; <a href=\"http:\/\/thelawofsobriety.com\/teleseminar\/\">http:\/\/thelawofsobriety.com\/teleseminar\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;Dr. Drew says it best when he states that the members of Celebrity Rehab 4 will have to build upon the foundation they were given in rehab in order to have a successful recovery.
