She emphasizes the need to identify one's confidence in managing different issues and the skills and tools required to do so. Dr. Snipes suggests assessing confidence levels in areas such as managing cravings, fatigue, sleep, pain, and emotions like anxiety, depression, resentment, guilt, and grief. She encourages listeners to consider what it would take to increase their confidence and suggests seeking help from specialists or therapists who can provide the necessary tools and techniques.
Dr. Snipes advises against comparing oneself to others in recovery, as everyone has their own unique challenges and circumstances.

She suggests starting each day with a dedication to recovery and keeping a log of daily, weekly, and monthly successes.
The concept of the efficacy meter is introduced, which involves assessing one's confidence level for specific goals. Dr. Snipes explains that individuals with a strong sense of self-efficacy view challenges as opportunities for growth and are determined and persistent in the face of adversity. They recover quickly from setbacks and focus on personal successes and positive outcomes. It is important to approach setbacks with curiosity and learn from them, but they do not diminish one's deservingness of love, recovery, and happiness.
Overall, Dr. Snipes emphasizes the importance of self-efficacy in recovery and provides strategies for enhancing it, such as seeking help, developing supportive relationships, setting boundaries, and focusing on personal successes.
