From your experience at the retreats, what's the best way to do a benefits to benefits analysis?
Is it to look at the kind of life you want first and then see what substance use outcome best fits that picture?
Just wondering if this way would bring about the most motivation to make the change you want or whether another way of doing the analysis has proven to be more effective.
