Urge Log

The Urge Log helps you log your urges and identify patterns that trigger your urges or behaviours over time. Greater awareness and reflection can help strengthen your motivation and show where you may need support.

This tool helps you:

• Record the date, time, strength, and length of the urge.
• Note what triggered the urge and who or what was involved.
• Reflect on how you coped and how you felt about it.
• Capture ideas for next time.
• Look for hidden triggers and recurring thought patterns.

Use this worksheet to log each urge by filling in the date, time, strength, length, trigger, who or where was involved, how you coped, and ideas for next time. Then review your entries to spot hidden triggers and recurring thought patterns. If you want more guidance, bring it to a SMART Meeting.
