Remember the Stages of the Change process:
Pre-contemplation→Contemplation→Preparation→Action→Maintenance→Relapse
We are firmly at the Relapse stage, because you now have reached a minimum of one year of sobriety. It is all about what you need to be doing to ensure the rest of your life is sober. Here are some tools to facilitate that long term permanency of sobriety.
Look to your future. See it. Envision it. Dwell on it. Milk it. If you can see it, you can have it!
We are full circles back to basic CBT principles. Whatsoever you are habitually, regularly, repeatedly dwelling on, will eventually become your behaviour. You will gravitate toward that which is the cognitive process in your mind. Supplement that thinking with solid Relapse Prevention Tools.
