🎙 Episode 24 — Why They Keep Slipping: The One Truth Families Miss About Relapse

You watched them take the first step.
You hoped this time would be different.
Then out of nowhere… they slipped again.
Why?

In this eye-opening episode of the Get Unhooked Podcast, Jason Coombs unpacks the most overlooked truth about relapse — and why families so often misread what’s really happening when their loved one "falls off track."

You'll learn:

What relapse actually means in the recovery process
Why your loved one may be in two different stages of change at the same time
How ambivalence (not defiance) drives the maddening back-and-forth behavior
And the one shift families can make that changes everything

Jason also shares raw personal stories — including how he ignored finances and gained 90 pounds after getting sober — to show how recovery impacts all eight life domains, not just substance use.

If you’ve been caught in the cycle of hope, disappointment, and confusion, this episode will give you clarity, relief, and the tools to finally support your loved one without losing yourself in the process.

👉 This is the episode every family needs to hear.
