Changing a habit alone is harder than it needs to be. Most people have more support available than they use, and this worksheet helps you see it. Picture four rings, from the inside out, and write a name or a resource in each.
The center is you. Your own honesty, your diary, your reasons, your kindness toward yourself. This ring is always here, and everything else supports it rather than replaces it.
The next ring is your trusted people. One or two humans you could be genuinely honest with about this. A partner, a sibling, an old friend, an adult child. You don't need a crowd. One person who won't judge is enough to change everything. Write their name.
The third ring is community. The regular, low-cost places where connection and structure live, a walking group, a class, a faith community, a senior center, a volunteer post, a support group if you want one. These fill the empty hours the drink used to own. Name at least one you could actually reach.
The outer ring is professionals. Your doctor, your pharmacist, a counselor, a help line, an addiction-medicine specialist. This ring is for the questions the inner rings can't answer, especially the medical ones, and it's the essential ring for any heavier or daily drinker thinking about stopping. Write down at least one name and number here, today.
The rings work together. Most people lean too hard on the center, trying to do it all alone, when the outer rings are right there, ready, and often free. Filling in even one name in each ring turns "I'm doing this by myself" into "here's who's around me," which is a truer and far more workable picture.
