Participants will be asked to identify their five most common SBs from the SAFE. Participants will then be shown a sample checklist with instructions to fill it out. For the next 14 days, participants will receive the following text message "Please remember to avoid using SBs you selected. As you drop them, you'll be able to go into social situations with greater confidence!" with a link for their daily checklist to complete. Participants will be asked to rate how often they engaged in each SB over the past 24 hours
Participants will be asked to pick five unhealthy behaviors they engage in most often to decrease. Participants will then be shown the same sample checklist as the Safety Behavior Fading Group. For the next 14 days participants will receive the following text message "Please try to remember to decrease your unhealthy behaviors. As you decrease them you will feel better, and you'll be able to go into social situations with greater confidence!" with a link for their daily checklist to complete. Participants will be asked to rate how often they engaged in each Unhealthy Behavior over the past 24 hours.
