This worksheet, titled “Using Structure to Manage Your Cravings – Worksheet 1” by Hal Baumchen, PsyD, LP, LADC, is designed to help individuals evaluate the costs and benefits of their substance use in comparison to quitting. It encourages reflection on the personal, relational, and emotional impacts of alcohol or drug use and explores the advantages of sobriety. Through a structured approach, individuals can identify the immediate benefits of using substances versus the long-term gains of not using, helping them make more informed and positive decisions for their recovery journey.

Written by clinical psychologist Dr. Hal Baumchen, PsyD, LP, LADC, this printable PDF worksheet gives clinicians a practical, session-ready tool. The conversational, encouraging tone makes clinical concepts accessible to clients at any stage of recovery, while structured prompts keep the work focused and productive.

How clinicians use it: as an in-session exercise to open and structure discussion, as between-session homework to reinforce skills, as a progress tool to track growth over time, and as part of a treatment unit paired with the companion lesson and PowerPoint on this topic. Formatted for easy printing and immediate use in individual or group settings.
