“Yul Brynner’s”
James O. Prochaska, Changing for Good

“Functional analysis: learn your ABC’s In addition to monitoring, try to track the events that immediately precede and follow your problem behavior. Do you drink more when something makes you feel angry? Lonely? Happy? What happens right after an angry outburst? Does the other person give in? Do you have a drink? Or do you withdraw to be alone? What makes you crave a piece of cake? How does eating it make you feel? This “functional analysis” can illuminate what is controlling the parts of your life that seem out of control. It is easy as A (antecedents) B (behavior) C (consequences). Antecedents can trigger a problem behavior, while the consequences reward or strengthen it, no matter how maladaptive it is.”
James O. Prochaska, Changing for Good

“Precontemplators are often demoralized as well. They don’t want to think, talk, or read about their problem because they feel the situation is hopeless. There is a certain comfort in recognizing that demoralization is a natural feeling that accompanies the precontemplation stage—and in realizing that if you take yourself systematically through the stages of change, you can change.”
James O. Prochaska, Changing for Good
