The biggest difference is intention and reality. So, in a slip or a lapse, they are the same thing.
Relapse can feel like a crushing setback, but it doesn’t have to be the end of your recovery journey. In this episode of the Sobersoul Recovery Podcast, clinical mental health therapist Lynn Matti tackles the real-life reasons behind addiction relapse and offers actionable solutions to keep you on track. She kicks off by clarifying the difference between a lapse—a temporary slip—and a full-blown relapse, stressing the importance of honesty with yourself and those around you.
Lynn's insights are not just theoretical; they come from her rich professional experience and personal journey through recovery. One standout strategy she discusses is the H.A.L.T. technique, a simple yet effective method for checking in with yourself: Are you Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired? Addressing these basic needs can prevent a minor slip from escalating into a relapse. Beyond H.A.L.T., Lynn dives into the significance of managing emotions, coping with stress, and finding a balance between confidence and humility.
She also highlights the critical roles of physical and mental health, social connections, and savoring life’s positive moments. This episode isn’t just about avoiding pitfalls; it’s about building a fulfilling, resilient life in recovery. Whether you're striving for moderation or complete abstinence, Lynn’s empathetic and practical advice provides a supportive guide to help you achieve your goals.
