SMART Recovery
RATIONAL VS. IRRATIONAL:
THE 3 KEY QUESTIONS
TO ASK YOURSELF ABOUT YOUR BELIEFS
1. Does my Belief help me or hinder me over the long run?
When I stray from my core beliefs about addiction recovery I run into trouble. I am finding it better to stick with what I know and not reach beyond that.
2. Is my Belief consistent with known facts and reality?
From what I understand about my recovery and what addiction treatment professionals in recovery understand is consistent with the known facts.
Is my Belief logical?
As far as I can tell it is. Its when I move into the murky waters of the unknown I seem to flounder and loose sight of any known reference points. I finding those times of confusion to prove futile for me and others.
