Map Your Next 5 Situations

Think of 5 upcoming social situations where drinking might come up. Rate each for difficulty.

💭 Is this event difficult because of actual pressure from others, or because of how YOU feel being sober there? If it's the second — that's the Identity Trap, not social pressure. The solution is different.

Situations rated 7+ get exit plans in Step 3. Be honest with the ratings — underestimating difficulty is how people get caught off guard.

#1 Casual Deflect — "I'm good with [drink]. Cheers though."

#2 Health Frame — "I'm on a training thing right now."

#3 Challenge Frame — "Doing a 30-day reset. Kind of an experiment."

#4 Direct Truth — "I've decided to stop drinking. I feel better without it."

#5 Redirect — "I appreciate it, but I'm set. So — [topic change]."

💭 Arrive early. Go to the bar first. Order your non-alcoholic drink. Get it in your hand before anyone can offer you something else. 80% of questions disappear when you're already holding something.

💭 Any event you rate 7+ needs a full exit plan. Set a maximum time, prepare your exit excuse, and set a phone alarm. Most people stay too long — the danger zone isn't hour 1, it's hour 3+.

Exit Plans

For each situation rated 7+, build a specific exit plan. Pre-decided exits hold better than improvised ones.
