Relapse Prevention
“Don't stay too long in the shame-filled grounds of relapse. Fertile soil awaits your return and your recoverying.”

Are Relapses A Part Of The Recovery Process?
We prefer to say that relapses are NOT a part of the recovery process, because some people will use those words as their "escape route" or for their "exit strategy"... but they CAN and DO happen when some people are attempting to moderate or achieve total sobriety. If this has happened to you...what do you do now?
Relapses can leave you feeling demoralized, ashamed, and helpless. Your family feels the same way when it happens again and again. They frequently experience a variety of emotions, such as helplessness, despair, frustration, and even anger. It's vital that you and your family know how to handle a relapse so that you can pick up where you left off with your recovery.

It is imperative that you discover the reasons why you abuse substances, so that you may address them, process them, forgive others, forgive yourself, and move forward.
