My Goals

Setting a goal is an important part of making a change that lasts. If you are the person who drinks, you may have decided that you want to drink less often. Your goal might be to address your alcohol intake and start to take control over your drinking.

Trigger Tackler

Trigger tackler can be helpful if you need to up the ante on your personal programme. It helps to address the high-risk situations. This tool requires a bit more work than the other tools and will ask you to push yourself and think about why you really drink. The answers you provide will help you to develop your own personal trigger tackler plan.

Confidence Builder

Resilience is one of the strongest tools for building confidence. Resilience is the ability to cope with difficult situations and to recover from hardships. This does not mean that the problems disappear. Rather, it is the ability to cope with it and move past it faster. Everyone has some resilience, and everyone has the ability to build it up.
