Skills card set for addiction – For acute situations involving cravings (8 cards)
This set of skills cards was developed for moments when cravings become noticeable and it's difficult to stay grounded. The cards help you pause, interrupt automatic impulses, and remind yourself of concrete, actionable alternatives to consumption.
This set combines stop-stimulation skills, breathing exercises, physical activation, mindfulness, cold exposure, and motivational thoughts to stabilize you both physically and mentally. The goal is not to eliminate the urge to craving, but to recognize it as a temporary state and make it manageable.
The content is structured to gradually bring you back to the here and now, helping you to make conscious decisions again instead of reacting impulsively. The urge to use is allowed, but it doesn't dictate your actions.
