I think it can be made even more effective by those in recovery performing this exercise along with the help and guidance of their counselor while in recover. Planning ahead for your post-treatment life with such exercises will be helpful in assuring that you do not fall into relapse from lack of planning or action. One of the things that many addicts seldom do during recover is plan ahead. Everyone is so concerned with the "now" that they don't think as much as they should about the future. Knowing your relapse triggers in advance (either by performing the exercise yourself or with the help of a counselor) can help you prepare for potential road blocks in the future so that you can avoid or if possible, prevent them. Looking forward to sharing this exercise with others that I know who are currently recovering! Thanks! - Dennis Hansen What a great exercise!

What a list! It is great, and what a wonderful way to put the triggers out there. I do like how you suggested to make a top 5 and then put those in order too. thanks for the post.
