How to Use This Plan

Fill this out when you're clear-headed and committed. Keep a copy in your wallet, on your phone, or somewhere you'll see it during a craving. Review and update it regularly as you learn more about your triggers and what works for you. This isn't about perfection—it's about having a game plan when your brain tries to convince you otherwise.
