3) Limit my time on the internet
4) Stay distracted/busy (housework, kids, tv, etc.)
5) Commit to weekly support group
6) Challenge negative thoughts with reality (DBT skill)

I know I need to GAL but for now does this list of goals sound good?


Yes it sounds fantastic!! Definitely make attending that group a priority, a lot of that is the same as what we say here but I think it has more impact when people are telling you face-to-face versus words posted on the 'net.
