How-to: Exit Plan module
Quick Summary
- The Exit Plan module is designed to help you create a plan for managing situations that might get out of hand.
- Having a clear exit strategy can maintain your well-being, and this module can help you minimise any negative consequences even if you don’t want to completely stop using substances.
- This module helps you identify potential triggers and outline steps to take when you notice your use starting to get out of hand. Planning ahead ensures you have clear steps to follow when needed.
Here's how it works:
Think about situations that have previously led you to use or drink more than you wanted to, or got you into trouble that you hadn’t planned. Are there any trends you can see in your own use that might be signs that it’s time to call it a night?
Once you’ve noticed these bail out points, use the module to plan for ways you can put on the brakes, keep yourself safe and create some accountability when using substances.
After using your Exit Plan, take some time to reflect on what worked well and what could be improved. Adjust your plan accordingly to make it even more effective for future use.
By having a well thought out Exit Plan, you can feel more confident and stick to your goal and limit the harms that can come from using too much.
