Relapse Prevention Skills: The Daily Drill

One of the hallmarks of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is skills building. Following a “daily drill” is a skill that individuals with substance use disorders have found helpful in preventing relapse.

The Daily Drill has a four-word tagline:  Please, Read, Meet, and Thank

Please
Ask for help from a power greater than oneself, whether that be a “Higher Power” or a support group.

Read
 Read some from an addiction recovery-related book.

Meet
Meet with other people who are living life in recovery.

Thank
Express your gratitude for getting through another day without using drugs or alcohol.
