If people are not taking responsibility for their own recovery, it is often because they are receiving what type of messages?

  1. a. Negative

  2. b. Igniting

  3. c. Impact of Illness

  4. d. Stages

The correct answer is: a. Negative

When people are not taking responsibility for their own recovery, they are often receiving negative messages. Negative messages can impact an individual's motivation and belief in their ability to recover. These messages can create self-doubt, lower self-esteem, and hinder progress towards personal growth and recovery. By recognizing and addressing these negative messages, individuals can work towards fostering a more positive and empowering attitude towards their recovery journey. The other options are not directly related to the concept of negative messages that can deter personal responsibility in recovery. Igniting, Impact of Illness, and Stages do not specifically address the issue of negative messages influencing an individual's attitude towards taking responsibility for their own recovery.
