Editor's Notes

  1. Review the agenda. Introduce the hierarchy of needs. Understand how needs/wants relate to addiction, and practice noticing the difference between them.
  2. Walk the participants through a quiet time and ask them to notice tension in their bodies. Do progressive muscle relaxations (instructions found with enclosed materials)
  3. Walk the participants through a quiet time and ask them to notice tension in their bodies. Do progressive muscle relaxations (instructions found with enclosed materials)
  4. Introduce the basic check-in format which includes their names, how they are feeling today, and when their last use of alcohol or drug abuse happened. If they are taking prescription medication, this includes any narcotics or benzodaizepines. After participants have completed a basic check-in, introduce a check-in on recovery activities and how those went.
  5. Introduce Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Explain the pyramid shape of the hierarchy of needs. Discuss how that hierarchy of needs relates to staying clean and sober. Explain the difference between wants and needs. During discussion slide, use a white board or flip chart to record participant’s brainstorming session. Continue until each participant has personalized the difference between a want and a need.
  6. Point out that the lowest or the absolute foundation of the pyramid is physiological needs and as you go up and get further and further away from the foundation, you get more and more away from basic survival and into more of a richer existence. MANY OF THESE WOMAN AND FAMILIES ARE STRUGGLING WITH MEETING THEIR BASIC NEEDS IN THE FIRST AND SECOND LEVEL.
  7. Go through the details of each level of needs, such as physiological, safety, social, esteem, and finally actualization. Use examples to illustrate the needs, ask participants for examples to check their understanding of the concept. Retrieved May 11, 2005 from www.akri.org/ cognition/motivate.htm , Applied Knowledge Research Institute. Retreived from RTP mothers Curriculum November 9, 2013
  8. Do some brainstorming to identify specific needs and wants that the participants are working with right now.
  9. Use a white board or flip chart to record participants’ brainstorming session of their needs and wants.
  10. What does it mean to put recovery before everything else? Is being selfish “bad” if you are putting recovery first?
  11. It is difficult for participants to name their priorities and put them in order of importance. It can be helpful for them to brainstorm together, and then individually decide on the five most important things. Be sure to have them put one priority on each piece of paper, along with their initials. Also put numerals 1- 5 on each piece to indicate priority ratings. The experiential section of this activity involves experiencing what happens when they give control of their life to addiction. Put on a hat or mask to indicate that you (the facilitator) are now the addiction, to whom they have given all their power. Announce that because of addiction they have lost one of the most important things in their life. Collect one piece of paper from each person. Go around three more times until they are left with just one thing. Ask about the feelings experienced as addiction steals their power and what is most precious to them. Following that discussion, say “Ok, now you are in recovery and are taking your power back from addiction. We can all work together to get these things back. What do you think you would be getting back first?” Then, go around and give one thing back to them, and then give the next thing back until you have given them all back.
  12. Discuss “What is a sponsor?” List the characteristics of good sponsors and discuss picking a sponsor. Make sure that you ask for questions and talk about the possibility of getting a temporary sponsor.
  13. Have participants create a priority list in their planners, using the priorities identified in the priority activity above. Ask participants to begin a phone list in their planner of those to call if they feel like using drugs. If appropriate, have participants share their phone numbers with each other. Have participants create a simple weekly self-care contract.
  14. Inform participants in Week 4 we are going to be decorating RTP binders and telling our stories, so they may bring some items for decorating their binder. Suggest photos or drawings that they can glue onto it. Suggest they hold onto to those five pieces of paper in their planner or use them for ideas about what to include on their binder decoration. Assure them that you will have decorating supplies, just bring ideas and special things. Pictures of children are very common, and some women are incredibly creative!
