Anyone wants some work
In the abstinence exercise in this course, you are going to abstain from a substance or behavior for five weeks. Read more about it in M2 Assignment 2. In the discussion, you will discuss the change aspect of the abstinence exercise.
Tasks:
In a minimum of 400 words, post to the Discussion Area your responses to the following:
- Choose a specific problem or behavior (possibly what you would be addressing in the abstinence exercise) that is causing negative consequences in your life.
- Identify the specific stage of change you currently believe you are in.
- Elaborate this specific stage of change in your personal change process and the reason you are in this stage. Be sure to discuss issues of ambivalence (confusion about the change process or lack of a clear understanding of the need to change) and resistance (denial of the existence of the problem or refusal to change).
Note: Do not disclose any personal information that is not appropriate for this public learning environment.
Support your rationale and analysis by using at least two resources from professional literature in your response. Professional literature may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (websites ending in .edu or .gov).
