#10: So You Relapsed, Now What?
In this episode, I want to talk about what to do if you just relapsed. Most of the focus around relapse is through relapse prevention methods and with that focus we tend to think all is lost if we did actually relapse.
I think the biggest thing you can do for relapse prevention if you have already relapsed is to shift the focus off of the fact that you relapsed to focusing on what you can learn from this so that you can break the patterns that led you to where you are now.
We will talk about why you should stop saying things like "relapse is a part of recovery", how to not give up right before you see the rewards of your sobriety, and how you can start putting in place methods to help make this your last sobriety date.
