Winning In Addiction

Chapter 11. Finally Change..

In this blog, we will address the topic of addiction. Addiction can be a challenging battle, but in the 'Winning In Addiction' chapters, we want to focus on adapting our behavior and subconscious thoughts to meet this challenge. A crucial element here is setting a clear goal. A goal gives direction to our efforts and provides motivation.

Finally, we will discuss how goal setting can help us better understand what we are working toward and gain a sense of purpose. We will also look at how we can use the other sections on this website to support us in setting our goal. If you're considering making a quit attempt, read on to discover how having a clear goal in mind can help you deal with addiction.


  • Here are some additional tips for setting a goal:


  • Make sure your goal is specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound.
       
  • Write down your goal and keep it in a place where you see it often.
       
  • Make a plan for how you will achieve your goal.
       
  • Take small steps and celebrate your successes.
       
  • Seek support from others who want to help you reach your goal.


Addiction is a difficult battle, but recovery is possible. By having a clear goal in mind and working hard, you can take back control of your life.
