1: Precontemplation
Develop the will to change. Other Information:
"People at this stage usually have no intention of changing their behavior, and typically deny having a problem. Although
their families, friends, neighbors, doctors, or co-workers can see the problem quite clearly, the typical precontemplator
can't." Precontemplators resist change. They may change if there is enough constant external pressure, but once the pressure
is removed, they quickly revert. Precontemplators are often demoralized and don't want to think about their problem because
they feel that the situation is hopeless. "There is certain comfort in recognizing that demoralization is a natural feeling
that accompanies this stage-and in realizing that if you take yourself systematically through all the stages of change, you
can change."
