Get Creative: Make a Tool Zine

SMART Recovery is Self-Empowering Recovery! Youtube video

Absolute Thought Warnings ATW
When we identify a thought we’re having as an "absolute", we want it to raise a flag in our heads. Absolute thoughts tend to lead us to unhelpful emotions. Sad when we don’t have a real reason to be sad. Angry, when we don’t have a real reason to be angry. It’s time to check our thoughts. Some things are truly absolute though, so if we give ourselves an Absolute Thought Warning **(ATW)** we can, at least, pause our thinking to check.
