Included in these skills are thought stopping, conflict avoidance and “escape” skills, and a comprehensive set of “refusal skills.”	PDF

SA2	Self-awareness: examining your pattern or cycle in detail	Provides basic vocabulary for substance abuse treatment. Explains typical patterns of dependencies and relapse. Guides clients to examine past use and stages in personal relapse “cycle.” Clients identify vulnerabilities, specific triggers to past difficulties, and “stinking thinking” (about self, about other people, not being realistic, negative thinking about the future, etc.). Clients describe how feelings of discomfort have been dealt with, how isolation may have been a contributing factor in past difficulties, typical patterns of “build up” toward relapse, the need for control of uncomfortable feelings, and steps taken in the past to achieve that feeling of control, and how they began to plan or “set themselves up” for relapse. Additionally, clients describe the specific temptations experienced in various categories, their most common harmful behaviors or dependencies, their thinking, feelings, and behavior after relapse, and issues resulting from relapse.
