What to do when you said “YES” Too Quickly.
A Recovery Tool for Unsober Commitments
This tool is for the moment you realize:
“I should have said no.”
A chaotic yes doesn’t have to turn into burnout, resentment, or broken trust. This 5-step recovery method shows you how to pause, reassess, and responsibly reset a commitment you made too quickly — without shame, defensiveness, or relationship damage.
You’ll learn how to:
stabilize yourself after an unsober yes
clarify the real cost of what you agreed to
choose the right kind of reset (timeline, scope, support, or withdrawal)
communicate changes with honesty and professionalism
prevent the same pattern from repeating
This isn’t about backing out impulsively.
It’s about repairing with integrity — and protecting your capacity, credibility, and peace going forward.
