Stella [2.4K]
It is important to make the client understand that while alcohol might not be the cause of their problems or all of their problems it does affect the process of their decision making depending on the situation and how they feel towards different situations. A short-term goal would be to go a week without drinking alcohol and to note their changes in mood, behavior towards others and different challenges that they face. Another option is to set a "challenge" to see how long the client can go without the consumption of alcohol, the longer they go without the bigger the changes they will see in their day to day life.
