What's Wrong
With These Questions?
Client was
asked to write about what is wrong with the statements...?
"I want to
keep my dose low."
"I don't like
asking for help."
Client response...
"I listen
to what my family says and I do this too much. I don't
want to explain to them why my dose is high. They says
that if my dose is high I won't be able to come off MMT
and that keeping my dose low will allow me to leave with
ease.
I feel like when I call up to the clinic and ask
for an increase, everyone will think that I am just wanting
to get a high. I worry about what others think about
me too much. Now that I have come further in my recovery,
I know that I have to do what is best for me. I cannot
listen to what my family wants and what they think is
best for me. I know what is best for me, my body, and
my recovery. I now can say that I do not care what others
think of me or about me, I do the right thing and I am
stable." |
