Reaction Paper 1: Abstinence Journal
You are asked to abstain from a mood altering chemical / substance / food / activity for 30 days.
The substance will be of your choosing, and can include alcohol, other drugs, nicotine, caffeine, sugar, or other similar substances. An activity can include gambling, spending money, watching television, spending time on the computer, social media, swearing, etc. The purpose of your abstinence is to assist you in understanding what chemically dependent people face in treatment and recovery in this culture. You are to choose something that will be a true challenge for you, as this will help you learn much more than if you chose something easy to change about your life.
You are to keep a journal describing and reflecting upon your abstinence, with at least 2 entries per week describing your experiences, thoughts, feelings, successes and struggles. Each day’s entry should be about half of one double spaced page, making 1 page per week, for a total of about 4 pages.
You are to inform faculty at the outset what substance you will be abstaining from, and you are to tell at least 2 significant persons in your life that you will be abstaining from that substance as well. You are to develop a plan for dealing with the difficulties of abstinence, including the possibility of relapse. Please see Student Services if you believe that they can assist you, do not choose a substance that may cause physical harm should you abstain.
In your journal, you may use any of these questions as a prompt for writing:
• Your reasons for choosing this substance or behavior to abstain from or acquire
• Who you told about this experiment and who you look to for support
• Your daily experiences and feelings
• Your physical state (health, energy, sleep, nutrition)
• Your psychological state (motivation, emotions, coping skills, self-esteem,
thoughts, insights, confidence, self-efficacy, emotional management)
