Description

Part A of Dr. Hal Baumchen’s Developing Your Recovery Attitude worksheet series opens with a personal writing prompt asking readers to honestly reflect on times when a negative or uncooperative attitude contributed to their substance use, what consequences it created, and what they need to do to stay strong and positive going forward. The worksheet then introduces a self-inventory format built around rated continuums, where readers mark where they currently fall between two opposing attitudes and use reflection questions to identify specific, actionable steps toward improvement. The four attitude dimensions covered in this first installment are cynical versus accepting – examining the ability to receive help and correction with humility; fault-finding versus encouraging – exploring the tendency to focus on others’ flaws versus their strengths; negative versus positive – considering how one’s outlook affects both personal recovery and the people around them; and self-hating versus self-valuing – looking honestly at how inner dialogue and self-esteem either support or undermine progress in treatment. Each continuum is explained in enough depth for readers to recognize themselves in both descriptions, and the reflection prompts push beyond awareness toward concrete next steps.
