The positive role models can be important to maintain strong and healthy relationships. Having a set schedule day to day can help prevent addiction by keeping you busy and doing things you love and that will help you go further in life, rather than being bored and wanting to try substances. It is vital to maintain a lifestyle that makes you happy! Being involved in sports and activities is a healthy option. Doing something you love but that is a healthy aspect to your life.
