The Three C's of Dealing with an addict are: I didn't cause it. I can't cure it. I can't control it.
In addition to weekly meetings and literature written specifically for their dilemma, members find new ways to deal with the problems they face. Al‑Anon's Three Cs – I didn't cause it, I can't control it, and I can't cure it – are one of the things many members find helpful early in the program.
These four factors, compulsion, craving, consequences and control, are unique to addiction alone and are classified as the 4 C's. The behaviors of most addicts are very similar.

Have you heard of the 4 Cs of the 21st Century? Do you know what they are? Communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity are considered the four c's and are all skills that are needed in order to succeed in today's world.
Critical thinking teaches students to question claims and seek truth. Creativity teaches students to think in a way that's unique to them. Collaboration teaches students that groups can create something bigger and better than you can on your own. Communication teaches students how to efficiently convey ideas.
Activating Event – something happens that triggers thoughts and feelings. Beliefs – your beliefs determine how you interpret this event. Consequences – refers to what happens because of your interpretation (these consequences can be both emotional and behavioural).
Some clients may be familiar with the “3 C's” which is a formalized process for doing both the above techniques (Catch it, Check it, Change it). If so, practice and encourage them to apply the 3 C's to self- stigmatizing thoughts.
This method has you focusing your analysis on the 3C's or strategic triangle: the customers, the competitors and the corporation.
The addiction components model operationally defines addictive activity as any behavior that features what I believe are the six core components of addiction (i.e., salience, mood modification, tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, conflict, and relapse) (Griffiths, 2005).
This post will serve as the first of two blog posts about six different models of addiction: moral, spiritual, disease, psychodynamic, social, and biopsychosocial.
The DSM-5 specifically lists nine types of substance addictions within this category (alcohol; caffeine; cannabis; hallucinogens; inhalants; opioids; sedatives, hypnotics, and anxiolytics; stimulants; and tobacco).
Signs of addiction
