Opening Insights

The Transtheoretical Model of Change created by Prochaska and DiClemente (1983) is used readily within addiction cultures and incorporates 6 stages of change, namely: pre-contemplation, contemplation, pre-determination, action, maintenance and relapse. Notably this cycle is missing one key element: change. From this description it is evident that unless the recovering addict is able to move from maintenance into change, the cycle of change is never ending, with minimal hope or chance of resolution.

Informational Insights

In addiction Recovery change is usually focused on behavior and cognition (thinking), yet it is our beliefs that lie at the heart of our addictive behaviors, emotions, feelings, attitudes and perceptions.
Emotional Sobriety is need to creating lasting change, break the cycle and discover resolution. Emotional Sobriety is achieved through an educational process that teaches Emotional Maturity. Emotional Maturity as recognized by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is the ability to make mature adult decisions coming from a place of self-authority, self-responsibility and self-accountability.

While therapy, counseling and Twelve Step principles are essential in the cycle, only effective education and monitoring (accountability measures) can and have been proven to provide the recovering addict with the tools to uncover and discover emotional sobriety, emotional maturity and lasting change. Like the concept of motivational interviewing preaches, the addict will only change when and if they want to (Rollnick & Miller, 1991).
