STEP 1: GROUNDING & SAFETY (No Tapping Yet)

Take a slow breath in through your nose…
And gently release it through your mouth.

Place one hand on your chest, one on your stomach.

Say silently or out loud:
“In this moment, I am safe.”

Wait until the body softens before proceeding.

---

STEP 2: SETUP STATEMENT (Karate Chop Point)

Tap gently on the side of the hand while repeating 3 times:

“Even though I feel drawn to cocaine when emotions feel overwhelming,
I deeply and completely accept myself.”

Alternate versions (choose what resonates):

• “…even though this craving feels powerful right now…”

• “…even though part of me believes cocaine helps me cope…”

Tap through points while speaking slowly.
