The Reset: Part 1 - Creating a simple relapse prevention plan.

Описание: Today's video discusses making a relapse prevention plan and why it's important in maintaining sobriety.

Relapse prevention plans come in multiple forms. Every goal, boundary and stress-relief technique that you create or practice is part of an overall relapse prevention plan. Those tools are the foundation of your sobriety journey.

But you also need an emergency plan when you’re in crisis. An emergency plan helps when you’re experiencing a craving, can’t think straight and know you need help. It’s your last resort plan for when all else fails.

Start by reflecting on your past.

1) What prevented you from stopping or led to a slip in the past? List specific reasons.
2) What thoughts entered your head before you started drinking or using?
3) What prevention techniques worked in the past?
4) What techniques didn’t work in the past?
5) For each cause, thought or craving that kept you from stopping or led to a slip, create a list of actionable steps to help you in the future.

Figure out whether it’s just a thought or a craving:
1) What stress-relief techniques or coping strategies will you use?
2) Where will you go?
3) How will you get there?
4) Who will you call? Be sure to list backup numbers.
5) Why will you remain sober? Write words that will inspire you.
