Short description

A free 2-page worksheet to help you explore ambivalence and mixed feelings about change without shame.

Full description

Part of you may want change, and another part of you may still want the old relief.

That does not mean you are hopeless. It may mean you are experiencing ambivalence.

This free worksheet was created to go with The Recovery Mirror video, “Ambivalence: Why Part of You Wants Recovery and Part of You Does Not.”

The Decision Balance Worksheet helps you look honestly at both sides of change by reflecting on:

• The pros of using or continuing the old pattern
• The cons of using or continuing the old pattern
• The pros of changing or not using
• The cons of changing or not using

This worksheet is not about forcing a decision or shaming yourself. It is about telling the truth on paper so you can better understand what has kept you stuck and what your next honest step may be.

Useful for people in recovery, people exploring change, helpers, families, and group discussion.

Educational use only. This worksheet is not therapy, medical treatment, crisis care, or a substitute for professional support.
