Precontemplation --> denying the problem (i.e. if this patient didn't think that he needed insulin to control his blood sugar)
Contemplation --> acknowledges the problem, but is unwilling to change (i.e. our patient here, knows that he needs insulin, but not ready to take it b/c it made people in his family sick)
Preparation/determination --> preparing for behavioral change (i.e. patient asking the doctor to prescribe insulin to control his blood sugar)
Action/willpower --> changing behaviors (i.e. patient is taking insulin)
Maintenance --> maintaining changes (i.e. patient has taken his insulin for last 5 years with fidelity)
Relapse --> returning to old behaviors and abandoning changes
