Coming Up For Air - Families Speak To Families About Addiction

What does it mean to CRAFT? It means slowing things down to look at them in a more complex way, seeing behavior in light of abstinence versus use, using positive reinforcement for positive changes, not focusing on the negative. CRAFT asks you to look at yourself and your reactions, self-talk, and storytelling so that you can step back and make considered choices about how to interact. Bring compassion, not judgment to the situation. What looks like laziness or avoidance may be depression, anxiety, or low self-esteem.
