Connections need to be added as you change and have new interests

What are areas of your life that are important to you and provide you with a sense of connectedness and belonging?

Sports, reading, arts, nature, music, travel, dancing

Check your life goals for ideas

In what ways are you involved in these areas?
If these are areas that you have lost touch with, make a specific plan for developing connections
If they are new areas of interest, it’s time to make a plan for connections.

New connections are necessary as you change your life

It takes courage to make new connections and create positive relationships around us.

Take 3 minutes and list the ways you commonly made new connections in your old life:
How many of these required either the use of drugs or alcohol or going to places where drug and alcohol are used e.g. singles bars, sports bars, house parties, raves?

Now list new ways to make connections and consider: join clubs or special interest groups, take courses, volunteer, attend events where your special interest is showcased e.g. horticultural fair, sporting event
