Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

A
Acknowledging the problem is an appropriate short-term goal. Discussing the addictive behavior with others may or may not be of initial value, while recognizing triggering situations and understanding the reasons that facilitated the addiction are intermediate to long-term goals.
