Overview
Now that you have finished this experiment, (the experiment was to limit ourselves in one aspect of our life and I chose to limit screen time so include that ) prepare a 4-6 page reflection in which you address the following:
- What did you learn about the process of abstinence from this assignment?
- How do you think that an actual chemical dependence or process/behavioral addiction may differ from your experiment with abstinence?
- What barriers do you think that people who experience an addiction of any kind (substance or behavioral) may have in terms of abstaining from the substance(s) or behavior(s) that they are “addicted” to, particularly those in marginalized groups?
- What systemic factors do you think impact a person’s ability to practice abstinence successfully (or unsuccessfully) when coping with an addiction?
Your writing should be succinct and clear. Whenever possible, include examples that illustrate your points. The evaluation of this assignment will be based on the depth of your responses including the degree of self-reflection, self-exploration, willingness to speak to difficult aspects of self, etc. as well as grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. please include a couple sources and give specific examples
