    Sentence Stem:
    1. I know my recovery is in trouble/strong when:
    Identify those feelings, thoughts, behavior that happen prior to your relapse. Think about what caused those feelings, thoughts and behavior.
    How can you protect that? What thoughts and behaviors will strengthen your recovery/sobriety?

      That's a difficult situation, Heather. I've been there. Depending on the situation, I would reach out to your support group (who know you and perhaps are familiar with your situation) or seek a counselor who you can visit on a regular basis.

    A healthy mind and body do take a lot of conscious effort which Dr. KJ Foster has been able to demonstrate effortlessly. Very nice concept. Those who wish to practice what has been taught here should be aware that results may seem slow at first and only become noticeable after a while, which is why you must never give up. A workbook like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Worksheets for Substance Abuse by Portia Cruise can be a very handy companion to track your progress, stay motivated and avoid relapse.

    • @DRKJFOSTER
      @DRKJFOSTER  3 года назад +3

      It's identifying the people, places, things, emotions, situations that put you at high risk for relapse and learning how to navigate those high risk situations to prevent relapse.

    Sounds exhausting. Why not just take all 12 steps and have the entire obsession removed? Mines, lol. I get tired just thinking about having to do recovery like that.

    • @DRKJFOSTER
      @DRKJFOSTER  2 года назад +1

      It's actually been very helpful for many, myself included. I've taken the Steps and they were very helpful, but the Steps are the end all and be all, and I needed more than just the 12 Steps to fully recover from my SUD and BPD. There are many individuals who have co-occurring disorders that do not respond well to the 12 Steps. It sounds like they worked for you and that is wonderful! I think the danger is the implication that the 12 Steps are the only way for people to get better. That's just not true.
