How do people change? Precontemplation Contemplation Preparation Action Maintenance Relapse / Recycle

Am I Precontemplative? “What Problem?” “Who, me?” “I see no reason to change.” “I wish people would just leave me alone already!”

Am I Contemplative? “I might have a problem.” “I’m not ready to make any decisions yet.” “Problem? Maybe.” Considering change, but ambivalent.

Am I in Preparation? “I have a problem, but don’t want to commit to doing anything about it yet” “I’m developing plans to change” “Problem? Yes… Change? Not yet…”

Am I at Action stage? “I have a problem and I’m ready to do something about it.” “I’m making changes.” “Problem? Yes… Change? YES!”

Am I at Maintenance? “I’m stabilized and doing well. How can I support my ongoing recovery?” “I’ve made the changes I want; now I want to maintain my gains.”

Relapse / Recycle “I’m stabilized but have relapsed. How can I get back into active recovery?” “How can I learn from my relapse to strengthen my recovery plan?”
