​
​
Welcome Session. Monday 27th March 
We explore group expectations, ice breakers and the foundation practice of the 3 minute breathing space.
 
Session 1 Becoming Aware. Monday 17th April 
We become aware of the body, thoughts, feelings, and triggers that lead to addictive behaviour.
 
Session 2 Vicious Cycle. Monday 24th April 
We look at the habitual cycle of addiction, and how we can step off the Vicious Cycle.
 
Session 3 Accepting Experience. Monday 1st May 
We become aware of habitually turning away from experience with blame, self pity, distraction. We learn to be with our internal barometer, which is a host of pleasant, unpleasant and neutral feeling.
 
Session 4 Thoughts are not facts. Monday 8th May 
We become aware of automatic thinking, and learn that our thoughts are not facts.
 
Session 5 Taking care of Myself. Monday 15th May
We become aware of early warning signs in the body that alarm us that we are at risk of using, of picking up our choice of distraction. And we create an Emergency Action Plan, to help us when we are at risk.
 
Session 6 Staying on the path of recovery. Monday 22nd May 
We focus on recovery by reviewing what happens in a relapse. We also review things that we have learned on the course to help us keep abstinent and give us sobriety of mind.
 
Closing Session. Monday 5th June
This session can be helpful because endings are often a trigger that can sabotage an individuals recovery. We explore endings and encourage people to use some of the tools they have learned on the course in this session.
