My Recovery Action Plan

A personal plan for coping skills, support, and motivation in recovery

A strong relapse prevention plan includes concrete coping strategies, a reliable support network, and clear awareness of both the costs of relapse and the benefits of continued recovery. Research on relapse prevention (Bowen et al., 2021) shows that individuals who create detailed, personalized recovery plans are significantly more likely to maintain long-term sobriety. Use this worksheet to build your plan.

Complete each section thoughtfully. In the first column, identify the category. In the second column, provide your specific, personal responses. Review and update this plan regularly, especially during times of increased stress or vulnerability.
