Precontemplation (Not Ready)-"People are not intending to take action in the foreseeable future, and can be unaware that their behavior is problematic"
Contemplation (Getting Ready)-"People are beginning to recognize that their behavior is problematic, and start to look at the pros and cons of their continued actions"
Preparation (Ready)-"People are intending to take action in the immediate future, and may begin taking small steps toward behaviour change"
Action – "People have made specific overt modifications in modifying their problem behavior or in acquiring new healthy behaviors"
Maintenance – "People have been able to sustain action for a while and are working to prevent relapse"
Termination – "Individuals have zero temptation and they are sure they will not return to their old unhealthy habit as a way of coping"

A LAPSE is a one time return to old and unhelpful habits. It’s common and normal and is usually triggered by things like stress, low mood, tiredness or ill health. It could be you had a bad day or needed a break and so you turned to some of your “old friends” for support. A RELAPSE is a complete return to these old and unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving.
