Notes: It is my pattern that when I drink it causes legal, social, and financial problems in my life. Therefore, it is rational to think that if I drink I will have %!@# to deal with.

Relapse Prevention & Personal scenarios
Relapse Prevention
Personal images example
Title: Relationships
Description: I will have an honest healthy relationship with others.
Married, Separated, or Divorced; healthy relationships depend on honesty, sobriety and working a program. In growing together or growing apart detachment and independence is healthy for all relationships. The people we love, the parents of our children, and our past relationships can remind us of what we have learned about ourselves and how we can grow. We must love ourselves first; recovery begins here.
"Drinking or using is NOT an option for ME."
"I will have a respectful healthy relationship with my EX; it is in the best interest of my child."
"I will work a program and have an honest, healthy relationship with my spouse; even in times of hardship."
