Let's say you were answering questions in order to work on your recovery ...

And you made a list of seven questions every week. Working on ONE question for each day of the week, what would you ask yourself?


Looking for ideas here. I've done this before, but had help. I'm at a mental block tonight, but I want to get this ready for tomorrow.

1) Why do I have so much attitude when talking to my parents?

2) What are the pros and cons of letting _________ know about my drug addiction?

3) Why am I so angry at NA/AA meetings?

4) What are the pros and cons of acknowledging my cravings?

5) How can I realistically plan for the next day?

6) What the hell am I talking about?

What do I have to be grateful for today?

What am I willing to do today to maintain my recovery?

- What does my alcoholic/addict brain say to me that I know is not right and how can I counteract this little voice with a positive message?

- How can I help someone else today?
