Getting Factual Information

Family, friends or experts give us factual information about a particular important decision, idea or stressful event.

“Facts” that are skewed to represent a world view that is not in your best interests, or goes against your values must be reviewed with critical and rationale eyes.

These are people who you can turn to for quality information when you need to gather information to take action.

These are people who can give you the facts about a particular event or facts about a particular issue.

Sharing Factual Information

This area is particularly important when it comes to decisions regarding your goals or your past experience of addiction.

This is an area where you will want to screen out people who use their personal experience as evidence of fact for everyone else’s experience or have a personal agenda to influence you in a certain way.

This is also an area where you will want to screen out “moral” information or assumptions that are presented as factual information e.g. praying is sufficient activity to reach your goals.
