E.F.G.H.I.J.Exercise No. 19: Combined Mistaken Belief ListPurpose. We operate on a number of Core Beliefs. Sometimes these beliefs are true, but we donot know how to deal with what they tell us. Sometimes we learn things that are not true. Theseare called Mistaken Beliefs. We act as if they are true even though they cause us pain and stop usfrom changing our lives. These mistaken beliefs can cause us to do things and feel things thatwill cause us to drink, use drugs, or break the law again.All core beliefs appear in the form of thoughts that are either mandates or injunctions. Mandatesare thoughts that usually begin with "I must." Injunctions are thoughts that usually begin with "Ican't." We believe something bad will happen unless we follow our mandates and injunctions.Examples of Mandates and InjunctionsMandate: I must always be in control and not show others when I am afraid.Injunction: I can't cry or people will think I am weak.
Instructions. Read the list of endings to the sentence, "When I am in this situation I believe . . ."in Exercise No. 18, part 3, for each of the four worksheets. Circle any endings that begin, "Imust" or "I have to." List them below on the Mandate List. Write any that are similar only once.Put a square around any endings that begin, "I can't" or "I won't." List them below on theInjunction List. Write only once any that are similar.1. Mandate ListA.B.C.D.E.2. Injunction ListA.B.C.D.E.Many times you will have feelings that will cause you to think of the mandate or injunction.What you have learned about these thoughts and feelings usually determines how you will act.Instructions. Take the list of mandates and injunctions from this exercise to someone whom yourespect and believe to be honest. Look for someone who has been sober, clean, and out of troublefor a long period. This could be a counselor, someone in AA or NA, or an acquaintance. Ask theperson if he or she thinks these mandates and injunctions are true. If the person does not thinkthe mandates and injunctions are true, circle them.If you have a belief that is true and is causing pain for you, write down how you are dealing withit. Ask people whom you trust how they deal with this situation to make it work for them.Exercise No. 20: Challenging Mandates and InjunctionsPurpose.
