A 45-year-old woman with alcohol use disorder is brought to the outpatient clinic by her adult daughter, who is concerned about her mother's increasing alcohol consumption. The patient states, 'I don't know why everyone is making such a fuss. I only have a few glasses of wine with dinner, and it's perfectly normal. My mother drank wine every night and lived to 85.' She denies any negative consequences from her drinking and expresses irritation about being at the appointment. According to the transtheoretical model of change, which stage of change is this patient in, and which motivational interviewing strategy is most appropriate?
