How to Keep Your New Year’s Resolutions
About half of allAmerican adults say they are at least somewhat likely to make a New Year’s resolution this year. Their top vows: to lose weight, quit smoking and exercise more.But consider this: if hard-core addicts can break bad habits-some by moderating, not just quitting-there’s still hope for you. Whether your goal for this year is to get fit or tame your drinking, experts say there’s a lot you can learn from people who have successfully moderated their habits to help keep you off the resolution merry-go-rounD、
1.Don’t Kid Yourself
"The most important thing is to be honest with yourself," says Howard Josepher, the president ofEx- ponents InC、, an organization that provides support and educational services to people with substance-mis-use issues. "You need to know the difference between enjoying yourself and self-medicating. It’s not that self-medicating is necessarily bad-but you should give yourself parameters. If you are adhering to them, OK. If not, you need to check yourself."
Successful moderators decide in advance how much is too much-and stick to their limit, no matter what. Have a cookie a day if that’s what you’ve deemed acceptable.But if you cheat by having "just one more," know that you are only cheating yourself and worsening the problem, experts say. The point is to learn how to hold yourself accountable.
For those who are concerned in particular about drinking a free, research-based online tool calledDrinker’sCheckup can help you determine whether you are drinking at unhealthy levels, and what to do if you are.
2. QuitCold Turkey-Temporarily
"Theoretically, there are very good reasons to take a break from a behavior, totally," says Reid Hes- ter, director of research atBehavior TherapyAssociates, explaining -that an initial period of complete ab- stinence (节制) can make it easier for people to moderate behavior by eliminating the habitual, automatic aspect of the unwanted activity.
Take a cue from the self-help group Moderation Management (MM), which advises problem drinkers to abstain completely for a month before attempting moderate drinking. If you can’t achieve a month of ab- stinence, the thinking goes, successful moderation is unlikely.
The best way to stay on course is frequent self-monitoring; use as many behavior-modification tools, support groups and programs as you can. In October, Hester and colleagues published a randomized con- trolled trial in the Journal of SubstanceAbuse Treatment comparing heavy drinkers who used MM’s web- site to help them quit with those who used the MM site plus another online tool that teaches behavior- control tactics and helps chart drinking. While both groups significantly reduced their drinking and alcohol- related problems, the group that used the additional tool had more days abstinent and drank less when they drank.
3.Do What theBuddhist WouldDo
Alan Marlatt, director of theAddictiveBehaviors ResearchCenter at the University of Washington, studies "mindfulness-based relapse (重新染上) prevention," which uses meditation (冥想) and other ideas fromBuddhist teachings to help people break bad habits.
"Between stimulus and response, there’s a space, and in that space is our power to choose our re- sponse, and in our response lies our growth and freedom," says Marlatt, quoting author and Holocaust survivor Victor Frankl. Marlatt says, "Mindfulness gets you into that space."
Being mindful may involve traditional meditation, in which you sit quietly and observe your thoughts and breathing without judgment.But here, it is also used to focus awareness on thoughts and feelings that lead to unwanted behavior. Simply recognizing the triggers to relapse can help you choose not to give into them. "When there’s a fork in the road, strong desire is pulling you one way. Well, what’s th
