Yeah. And not waste that time in the middle. Yeah. Right. That's, that's really eating more time and your show takes
6cd
I see where you're gonna. Absolutely.
7ack
Does this make sense to you understand kind of,
5yq
And I think that's a that's a helpful way to think about it. And that's, that's the cognitive part of this. So this is a kind of this is a behavioral strategy because we've talked about these in the past, right? This is behavioral strategy, the cognitive pieces, when you find yourself wandering, I think you have to detect that. And you I think you have some level awareness that's happening. Yeah, you have to detect that and say, I want to watch my show, and we're looking forward to it.
3gc
Okay.
7ack
And that's your motivation to move through the paper. And then you know, when eight o'clock comes, okay.
11orq
All right, that sounds like a plan. All right.
10od
All right. Thank you. Thanks.
2gt
It was okay, I guess.
0id
Yeah. Just okay.
4crq
All right. Okay, so I want to refresh your memory and I've got my notes here. Do you mind if I refer to my notes?
5yq
okay
7ack
yeah.
3gc
Yeah, I wasn't in the mood.
9on
I'm wondering what you could have done in the world.
11orq
I'm not sure what I could have done.
10od
And so because of the not exercising, did it make any difference in your marijuana usage this week?
1irq
Yeah, it was used a bit more.
0id
Okay. Okay. So how would you tie those two things together By not running?
1irq
I think the mix when I'm not exercising, generally I would turn to the more usage.
0id
Yeah To change the perception above, maybe wear a rain jacket or something.
10od
Mm hmm, that would be a great idea. That would be an excellent idea.
7ack
Well, I tried to stay away, but I didn't. I still saw some of them.
0id
So it was it was difficult to cut them out of your life? Last week?
5yq
Yeah.
7ack
And you tell me more but what was difficult about it,
1irq
the stuff that they think something badly of the I didn't want them to think You know, avoiding the raising.
0id
So you did it sounds like you didn't want to hurt their feelings.
5yq
Yes
7ack
by them thinking that you were going to avoid them.
5yq
yes
7ack
And so as a result of this what what happened?
1irq
Well, I just ended up going to see them and then hanging out.And, yeah.
0id
So because you were worried about them thinking that you were trying to avoid them, you ended up using marijuana. Is that correct?
5yq
Yeah.
7ack
And I'm wondering how you could do that differently this week.
1irq
Well, I could, I suppose I could just try hard enough to go and see you guys.
0id
And what would that involve trying harder not to go see them?
5yq
Hmm.
7ack
Yeah. Sometimes it is that simple is just making that commitment. yourself and just drawing the line. And do you have any friends that do not use marijuana that you could kind of associate with?
1irq
Yes i do, I don't feel that often, but I could, I could start to see that more.
0id
Okay. How about motivated on a scale of one to 10? Would you say you are to kind of reignite friendships with people that don't smoke pot?
1irq
Three.
0id
Okay. So you're still, you're still a little iffy about you about whether you want to associate with those friends again, but I have to ask you, Bruce, what do you what made you say three instead of one?
1irq
Well, because I know for all, so I feel like I need to, I think I should start doing something about it.
0id
I think that's great insight that you're able to see that moving towards The friends that don't smoke pot and making the effort to do that is actually going to enhance your life incredibly. And when you associated with the friends that didn't smoke pot in the past, what kind of things did you do?
1irq
Like what what kind of things activities and things?
4crq
Yeah, it was fun. Yeah, we just mostly are like doing some outdoor activities, maybe just sort of get some pressure kind of thing. Usually it's not so like, you know, there's more. They tend to do more healthy activities, I would say.
0id
So you can recall living a healthier life then and having fun outdoors and basically having a healthier life overall, without using the pot.
11orq
Yeah You're right there. It could be I might take my mind off of it.
10od
Sometimes it's good to remember having those good times with the friends that didn't smoke the pot because it makes you realize that you don't really need it. And I think that's a great, I think that's a great idea.
3gc
Was I really had a lot of second thoughts. I was worried about commitment and that kind of thing. So I didn't feel like that was the right the right idea.
3gc
Okay, so you had some second thoughts about that. You're excited about it and last week's session, but after you had a chance to reflect upon it, you kind of realized that it wasn't getting a dog was not the best Thanks for you,
3gc
a lot of commitment and a lot of time that I just don't have the motivation to be putting in.
3gc
I think that's wise to recognize that right up front, I'm given the research on pets any kind of pet, and how it helps people sustained from alcohol and drug usage. I'm wondering if there is another option that you might consider.
3gc
Maybe. What do you have in mind?
4crq
That's a good idea. I didn't think about that.
0id
Because a dog is the dog is a large commitment.
3gc
Yeah. You know, there's all kinds of animals, snakes or fish or something.
3gc
Hey, snakes ! fish, that would definitely be a star these animals that you like.
3gc
Yeah.
3gc
All right, I think it's important that you have an animal that you like and that you can relate to. Alright, so in the final goal was to find and join a support group for people that were trying to be abstinent from marijuana. How did you make out with that?
1irq
I look into it. But like, I went to the first the first meeting, and I just felt like, like, those people were bought on the barrel and I was just not I just didn't fit in with that crowd where they are not in that place.
0id
So you made the effort to go and you went
4crq
I couldn't, I just didn't want to stay.
6cd
And so you didn't stay the whole time.
5yq
Right.
7ack
And so you left early because you felt you didn't feel and you they were the bottom of the barrel and you're still higher functioning.
5yq
Yeah
7ack
I can definitely understand I'm wondering if there is any purpose for you joining some sort of support group to help you. what Do you think?
1irq
See there could be some positive. I just don't I don't I just don't see it that much at this point.
0id
And what might be some positives that you would get out of the support group?
1irq
Well, I would, I would probably be able to relate to people in the same kind of situation. And maybe it's just a positive to be able to have connection with people like that. I'm not sure.
0id
So you're you're saying that the past of being in a support group would be that you'd get a chance to relate to other people who are on that same journey, and to have connections with other people. And again, I can send you information that will show you that that just these two items alone are incredibly helpful for not only decreasing or being abstinent from pot, but from increasing the feel good hormones in your body, the connection and the relating to other people. It might be similar when you were younger, you had mentioned last week that you were a hockey player. And so you had support that was sort of like the team was sort of like a support group. I'm wondering if you could relate to people in head connections and wondering if you could see a support group as a team.
1irq
Yeah, it would probably be the same kind of situation like Essentially, people in a support group are all there for the same goal. So it's kind of like in hockey. Very important there to win. Mm hmm.
0id
And do you remember when you were playing hockey, how it felt to be encompassed in that team?
1irq
It gave. And that's because of those good feeling hormones that come in neurotransmitters that come throughout your body when you have those connections. So how committed do you think you are? If I were to send you a list of support groups? So you could try out some others? Where there weren't the bottom of the barrel? As you say, there? how committed Do you think that you would be trying out at least two of them this coming week?
1irq
Probably eight, or 10. Yeah.
0id
Wow. What made you say an eight rather than a four, five was just
3gc
a team analogy, I think is a good analogy.
3gc
So you thought How you remembered. You remember how you felt when you were on the team and how it gave you that sense of connection?
1irq
Yeah. And also, you know, I don't have to be the mean, if, if I think of it as a team, maybe I would be like the star on the team, because I'm not quite so bottom of the barrel. Maybe
0id
Oh, fish. Yeah.
0id
Okay. And in terms of a support group, I will send you a list of support groups. And you feel that on a scale of one to 10, that you're about an eight, and actually carrying through and trying out two of these support groups, because of the hockey team analogy. Great job. So overall, how would you rate today's session?
5yq
It was good, very good.
7ack
And if we were to put it on a scale of one to 10,
1irq
eight
0id
out of eight. All right, we did get in if we did an eight.
3gc
All right,
3gc
way to go.
2gt
Thanks.
2gt
All right. Thanks
2gt
So Tommy, I wanted to talk to you because I was on Facebook the other day and saw some pictures from a party you were at and made me a little bit concerned because I saw you were drinking and I wonder if you can tell me a little bit about how alcohol fits in your life.
1irq
I mainly just drink whenever I'm at parties or whenever somebody hands me a beer i'll i'll take sips every now and then. But it's not something that I feel hovers around my life.
0id
It's kind of a social thing for you not like a major priority. Yeah. How much do you think you're drinking?
1irq
I guess I would say like every other every other weekend, maybe every every two weeks. On occasion, maybe There's a basketball game going on or a football game I'll have a beer just to drink with my boys. But other than that, I don't really see it as much of a of a problem.
0id
So you're drinking maybe half the time depending on what's going on that weekend.
4crq
Yeah, I guess you can say that.
6cd
Well, how would you describe the difference between weekends when you drink versus ones when you don't?
1irq
When I'm not drinking, I'm usually more like, involved in doing like more productive things like I I try and do more schoolwork whenever I have the time or whenever I like I can go workout or something just to like, when whenever I'm drinking, I devote my time to just letting loose and having fun and just relaxing with friends. Okay,
0id
