Rational Recovery
Alright kiddo, today we're going to learn about something called Rational Recovery.
Rational Recovery is a way for people who have problems with alcohol or drugs to get better on their own. It's like a plan or a method for fixing yourself.
First, you have to understand that your brain and your body are more important than anything else, even alcohol or drugs. You need to take care of them.
When you make a bad decision, like drinking or doing drugs, it's because of something called the "Beast." The Beast is a part of your brain that only cares about getting what it wants, even if it's not good for you.
The problem with the Beast is that it's very loud and demanding, and it's hard to ignore. But you can learn to control it by doing something called "AVRT." AVRT stands for "Addictive Voice Recognition Technique."
This means that you have to learn how to listen to the Beast, but not believe what it says. When the Beast tells you that you need to have a drink or take drugs, you have to recognize that it's just trying to trick you, and say no.
You also need to make a plan for yourself, something called a "Big Plan." This is a promise that you make to yourself to never use drugs or alcohol again, no matter what the Beast says.
Finally, you need to remember that you're not alone. There are other people who have gone through the same thing, and they can help you. You can also find support in things like books, websites, or meetings.
So, in summary, Rational Recovery is a plan for taking care of yourself, controlling the Beast, saying no to drugs and alcohol, making a Big Plan, and finding support. It takes hard work, but it's worth it, because it can help you live a happier and healthier life.
