The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of behavior change encompasses several key concepts:

  • Self-efficacy is the belief in one's ability to successfully change.
  • Processes of change involve strategies like goal-setting and seeking support.
  • Decisional balance assesses pros and cons of behavior change.
  • Temptation concerns the urge to engage in old habits when faced with triggers.

When applied to sobriety, TTM aids in gauging readiness for change, addressing self-efficacy, and combating temptation.

Counter negative self-talk, set S.M.A.R.T. goals, celebrate small victories, seek social support, and visualize success to maintain sobriety effectively.

Practicing self-compassion, journaling experiences, engaging with mentors, and creating a support network are crucial strategies in maintaining sobriety.
