Overview
These types of “winners” describe their predominant constructive motivations to overcome addiction. Among 161 patients, the preference for these types was: 1. Long runners (100), 2. Sober realists, 3. Self-supporting abstainers, 4. Regardful abstainers, 5. Prudent optimists, 6. Enthusiasts 7. Heroes, 8. Mystics, 9 Simple abstainers. We use this list during psychotherapy as the tool to increase the motivation, and to encourage and stimulate hope. We also related these types to exercises to stimulate active learning and compensate for long sitting during psychotherapy.
