Oakwood, it's in the 28 flashcards at the website, towards the end. See below. It's one of my favorite parts:
"Ask yourself, "How bad (depressed, anxious, bored, angry, etc.)
am I willing to get and still not drink/use?
(Hint: Try, "As bad as I feel. That's how bad I can feel and still not drink or use.)"
