Nice post. I believe that substance abuse is a major problem that needs to be addressed not only by the person suffering from addiction but by their loved ones and the community as a whole. Someone with substance abuse problem must find understanding from their significant others. They can also find a supportive community like AA meetings for alcoholics (here’s a comprehensive list of AA meetings in US: http://sober.com/aa-alcoholic-anonymous-me
etings.html or a helpful treatment facility, halfway houses, and sober houses for people with drug addiction(for a complete list of these facilities you can check www.sober.com).

PRESBESS's SparkPage 		I love this article! It has really helped me make the switch from losing weight to maintenance. As indicated in the article, transitioning to maintenance is such a mind boggler. But again, this article is very helpful. I am so dog on thankful for SP.

ELENA_DIEM's SparkPage 		Dean, I always get a lot out of your articles. This week I've been anxious as I realize I am going to meet my goal before the year's end, and I want to prepare NOW for maintenance. This article is just what I needed! Thanks for providing some direction for this new path.

I am so glad I found this article. I think I am in a form of weight maintenance now. I have lost 20lbs and still losing - I was contemplating how to maintain the weight loss. And now I know! Just keep doing what I did to lose the weight. It's just that simple!

KHDOESMK's SparkPage 		Thank you Coach Dean. I have been maintaining for over a year now, after 55 lbs, and it doesn't get any easier. I teach/lead a weight loss group on our (AZ) border and ride my bike regularly, still put my food in, and am playing with about 5 lbs. Nice to see you dealing with this. I sometimes feel like there is not enough on SP for those in the maintenance phase.

BESTSUSIEYET's SparkPage 		I'm just moving into maintenance stage, and am not really sure how to do it -- this helped with general ideas, but how do I figure out new calorie goals and realistic exercise goals? I am not tempted (at the moment) to go back to the old habits, but I also don't want to lose much more, and am not quite sure how to find the new/safe/maintenance ranges. Any more specific suggestions?

RACH2012's SparkPage 		Thanks for this article. It's very encouraging. I've been maintaining for a while now and I have become "disoriented" as the article puts it, without a goal to achieve. Since starting school last fall however, my new goal was to maintain a 4.0 GPA and I did it! I'm working for it again this semester. I take pride in the fact that I maintain a healthy lifestyle while in school.
