Now

Right now you may have resolve; perhaps due to a recent drinking bout you may even have a hangover and probably some guilt and remorse. But we all find that slips away pretty quickly, and we can start accepting unhealthy beliefs again. Create and repeat new replacement beliefs and activities every day.

Unto Others

Interpersonal effectiveness often involves getting others to do things for you, which may seem rude or bossy. But learning to assert your self can be a key practice in attaining sobriety or changing other unhealthy behaviors. Why? Because peer pressure is a major obstacle to abstinence and change. You can change your thinking, communicate more effectively, stay true to your values, and learn to recognize your competence. Then you can say ‘yes’ when you want to, and mean ‘no’ when you say it.

Thought

Your addiction wants you to be powerless, destroying
you one-drink-at-a-time for the rest of your life.
