What do participants work on?
What do participants work on?
Responsibly Driven groups give participants a structured process for examining their lives and planning change. Participants work on:
Understanding their relationship with alcohol, other drugs, and driving—including how denial has shaped their choices and how those choices affect others.
Sharpening personal awareness, intentional thinking, and the capacity to pause before acting.
Developing insight into more effective, responsible decision‑making.
Uncovering and addressing denial, underlying issues, and distorted thinking tied to substance use and impaired driving.
Clarifying values and casting a vision for a safer, more intentional way of living.
Using the CS3 Sobriety Plan (Clean, Sober, Safe, Sustainable) to turn insight into concrete commitments, daily practices, and accountable follow‑through.
The CS3 Sobriety Plan
The CS3 Sobriety Plan
The CS3 (Clean, Sober, Safe, Sustainable) Sobriety Plan is a central component of Responsibly Driven. It helps participants move from insight into action by naming their problem (“My problem is…”), identifying the denial, underlying issues, and distorted beliefs that led to impaired driving, and designing clean, sober, safe, and sustainable plans they can actually live out. Participants also describe how their CS3 Plan meets each part of CS3 and update it as their recovery, responsibilities, and circumstances change.
