Issues of Self-Control – Worksheet 1

Self-control is crucial for success in recovery and life. It involves managing your emotions, behaviors, and reactions, rather than trying to control external factors like other people or circumstances. By reflecting on times you’ve felt out of control, whether in managing time, money, or emotional energy, you can identify areas for growth. Practical ways to develop self-control include setting small, achievable goals, focusing on positive thinking, visualizing success, and celebrating your accomplishments. By practicing self-control, you can strengthen your recovery and live a more balanced, successful life.
