My Goals

Setting a goal is an important part of making a change that lasts. If you are a person who drinks, you may have decided that you want to change your drinking – drink less often or drink smaller amounts. Getting really specific about your goal will help you achieve it. Goals are also more likely to be achieved if they are challenging but also realistic.
 

Dealing with drinking is not the only activity in your life. You might also think about goals that are not directly related to your alcohol habits, but you also want to achieve them. Such goals may be to feel fitter and healthier, to have a job that you love or make progress on a hobby. 
 

Set specific and realistic goals for what you want to achieve:
 

• Being specific means saying exactly what you want to achieve.
• Being realistic means making sure that it is something you can actually do.

​Small goals can lead to big successes!
