You will do check-ins every week. If you are running your creative week Sunday to Sunday, do your check-ins each Saturday. Remember that this recovery is yours. What you think is important, and it will become increasingly interesting to you as you progress. It's best to answer by hand and let about twenty minutes to respond. The purpose of check-ins is to give you a journal of your creative journey. It is my hope that you will share the tools with others and in doing so find your own notes invaluable: "Yes, I was mad in Week Four. Ioved Week Five...."

1. How many days this week did you do your Journaling? 7 for 7, we always hope. How was the experience for you?

2. Did you do your Me Date this week? Yes, of course, we always hope. And yet, Me Dates can be remarkably difficult to allow yourself. What did you do? How did it feel?

3. Were there any other issues this week that you consider significant to your recovery? Describe them.
