Exhibit 8: Seemingly Irrelevant Decisions
|
When making any decision, whether large or small, do the following:
- Consider all the options you have.
- Think about all the consequences, both positive and negative, for each of the options.
- Select one of the options. Pick a safe decision that minimizes your risk of relapse.
- Watch for "red flag" thinking - thoughts like "I have to . . .", or "I can handle . . ." or "It really doesn't matter if . . ."
|
Practice monitoring decisions that you face in the course of a day, both large and small, and consider safe and risky alternatives for each.
