Granular Self-Assessment: Pre-Flight Checks

These aren't "homework" assignments. They are the "Pre-Flight Checks" for your Control Center. Complete these to ensure your hardware and software are aligned for the next phase.

Take your time — quality calibration is the key to a safe launch and a stable orbit.

Task 1 — Pre-Flight Check

The Function Audit: The Why of the Glitch

Substances are tools used to do a job. Think of the last time you used — or felt a strong urge to use. What was the "Job" the Glitch was trying to do?

02

Task 2 — Risk Assessment

The Cookie Dough Risk Assessment

In the last month, have you been in a situation where someone offered you a pill or substance that didn't come from a pharmacy?

03

Task 3 — Signal Strength

The Squad Audit: Map Your Top 3

List the 3 people you spend the most time with. You don't need their names — describe them by role or dynamic. Then classify them.

"Connection is the opposite of addiction." — reaching out to a Star tonight is its own Power-Up.

"These Pre-Flight Checks are not homework. They are the calibration that determines whether you launch with precision or drift into the asteroid field."

Navigator Affirmation · Section 8

Reflection Prompt 1

First Look — What Lands for You?

"Task 1 asked you to identify the "Job" the Glitch is doing. Now go deeper: where did that need come from originally? Before substances were ever in the picture, what was your brain trying to solve? Describe the original wound, tension, or emptiness — and describe the "Power-Up" you committed to using instead."

"You are not your glitches. You are the Pilot — and the Pilot who finishes the lab work is the one who flies the mission."

Reflection Prompt 2

Deeper Look — Applying It to Your Orbit

"The Mission Debrief says: you now know more about your brain than 99% of the population. Looking at all 8 sections of Module 2 — which piece of information hit hardest? Which one permanently changed a belief you held about yourself, substances, or recovery? And what is the one sentence you would say to your past self who didn't know any of this?"

Navigator Creed · Section 8

"Every time you use your CEO to make a safe choice, you are physically strengthening your ship for the journey ahead. You are adding Myelin to the tracks of resilience."

Navigator Journal Entry

Prompt: "Write your full Module 2 Debrief in your own words — not a summary of facts, but a personal report from the cockpit. What did YOU specifically bring into this module? What glitches did you recognize in yourself? What armor did you actually equip? And — most importantly — what does the Navigator who finished Module 2 look like compared to the one who started it?"
