This worksheet is designed to help you find healthy and fun things to do instead of using addictive substances. Since I cannot physically mark the paper for you, here is a guide on how to complete this task effectively.
Step-by-Step Guide:
1.
Read the Instructions: The top of the page says to cross off activities you think are "not for you" and mark the ones you have already tried or want to try.
2.
Review the List: Look at each box. These are all positive ways to spend your time, such as exercising, learning, or socializing.
3.
Make Your Marks:
* If an activity sounds boring or impossible for you right now (like "Join a gym" if you don't like exercise), you can
cross it off.
* If you have done an activity before (like "Take regular walks"), put a
checkmark or star next to it.
* If you haven't done it but want to try it (like "Learn a new language"), circle it or highlight it.
Example of how to choose:
* *Do you like being outside?* You might keep "Explore the wilderness/go camping" and "Take regular walks."
* *Do you like creating things?* You might keep "Pick up painting" and "Learn and practice gardening."
* *Do you prefer staying home?* You might keep "Take up reading" and "Do daily journaling."
There is no single "correct" answer because this is a personal plan. The goal is to pick at least 3–5 activities that you actually enjoy so you have a plan for your free time.
Final Answer:
To complete this worksheet, review the list of sober activities and personally mark them based on your interests:
cross out activities you dislike,
check activities you have already tried, and
circle new activities you want to attempt. This creates a personalized plan for healthy hobbies.
