- Log what happened each week the trigger showed up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the worksheet ask about the craving, not just the habit?
Removing a habit without addressing what it was actually satisfying — boredom, stress, connection, a break — tends to leave that need unmet, which makes relapse more likely. Naming the craving is what makes it possible to plan a real replacement.
Is this worksheet a substitute for professional help?
No. This worksheet is intended for everyday habits and general behavior-change concepts, not medical, mental-health or addiction treatment. For a habit connected to a diagnosed condition or dependency, a qualified professional is the appropriate resource.
