The ABCs are an exercise that help stop you from being victimized by your own thinking. A common example is the issue of someone else's behavior “making you angry”. This is a very common way of expressing something and we hear it often, but in fact, it distorts the situation it attempts to describe.
That's where the ABCs of Recovery come into play. They are Acceptance, Believe, and Change.
SMART Recovery's approach to behavioral change is built around our 4-Point Program®: (1) Building and maintaining the motivation to change. (2) Coping with urges to use. (3) Managing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in an effective way without addictive behaviors. (4) Living a balanced, positive, and healthy life.
ABC is an acronym for Antecedents, Behavior, Consequences. It is used as a tool for the assessment and formulation of problem behaviors and is useful when clinicians, clients, or carers want to understand the 'active ingredients' for a problem behavior.
We follow the ABC process of evaluating and viewing our situation: Adversity, Belief, Consequences.
Every instance of challenging behavior has 3 common components, an Antecedent, a Behavior, and a Consequence. These are known as the ABC's of behavior.
ABC Behavior Analysis: Examples
Antecedent - Driver hears seat belt warning sound. Behavior - Driver puts on seat belt. Consequence - Driver avoids a possible injury and ticket.
ABC (Always Better Control) analysis is one of the most commonly used inventory management methods. ABC analysis groups items into three categories (A, B, and C) based on their level of value within a business.
Try using one of the four A's: avoid, alter, accept or adapt.
Awareness, Acceptance and Action (in that order), often called the 3 As, are the necessary steps for healthy change and growth to occur. Awareness is the identification that some problem or dysfunction exists that needs changing.
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.
DISARM is a tool that helps us see the self-talk and images that tell us to use as lies, excuses, and rationalizations. It challenges those urge-producing thoughts at every opportunity, shooting them down like a gunslinger or reducing them to the point of absurdity.
SMART Recovery teaches increasing self-reliance, rather than powerlessness. SMART Recovery meetings are discussion meetings in which individuals talk with one another, rather than to one another. SMART Recover encourages attendance for months to years, but probably not a lifetime.

Industrial application of ABC analysis
For example, category A products will be counted quarterly, as they are much more relevant and valuable, category B products can be counted twice a year, and in a similar fashion, category C products can be counted once in a year.
The ABC model, also known as ABC analysis, was created to identify and process negative and dysfunctional thoughts as part of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). However, it can be used in other forms of therapy to help clients learn how to process dysfunctional thoughts and belief systems.
ABC pushes you to analyze three aspects of a situation: Adversity. Beliefs. Consequences.
ABC data is a form of data collection which can assist with functional behavior assessments. The data collected can help to create a picture of the possible function of the behavior (escape, access, attention, automatic reinforcement).
In order to effectively maintain and enhance our own lives through successful interaction with others, we rely on these three basic and interrelated human capacities: Affect (feelings) Behavior (interactions) Cognition (thought)
The ABCs are autonomy, belonging, and competence. Autonomy is our ability to self-govern. To feel like we are in control of ourselves and that we have a say in our own lives. Belonging is our sense of connectedness.
If things seem uncertain or difficult in this time, or you are wondering how to get through this time, remember the three ABCs of our basic psychological needs – Autonomy, Belonging and Competence.
It's called the ABC Technique, and it stands for Adversity, Beliefs, and Consequences. Those three steps are what we encounter every day—there's an obstacle in our way (that's the Adversity).
