Relapse Prevention Strategies with Rachel and Andrea

Realize that it's only temporary insanity... Surround yourself with people who got your back.
What if you could turn a potential relapse into an opportunity for growth? In this episode of 'Flying Sober', Rachel and Andrea dive deep into practical steps for relapse prevention. They kick things off by emphasizing the idea that relapses are often a momentary lapse in judgment, not a permanent failure. The duo shares their personal experiences and offers actionable advice on how to navigate these challenging moments.
From dialing a friend or sponsor to surrounding yourself with a supportive community, they cover it all. Rachel and Andrea also discuss the importance of having an accountability partner and making a solid plan to stay on track. They don't shy away from the tough topics either, like manipulation in relationships and self-sabotage, providing insights into how these issues can impact your sobriety journey.
One of the standout points is the 'IF game', where they encourage you to think about the consequences of a relapse, not just for yourself but for those around you. They also highlight the significance of getting honest with your sponsor and revisiting the steps if needed. And if you do relapse? Get back on the horse and keep moving forward.
Rachel and Andrea's candid conversation is filled with grace, gratitude, and a touch of humor, making this episode both enlightening and encouraging. Tune in to learn how to build lasting connections and find strength in your sobriety journey.
