Facing Relapse: Steve's Honest Take on Recovery and Support

Relapse isn't a part of recovery, because it kind of gave me an excuse to like: oh, I can relapse because it's a part of all this, you know. But it opened up new opportunities for him in his life because he was able to realize, like, okay, I made this mistake, I got to get back on track, and I mean it's part of the journey, but it's not a part of the recovery.
When someone close to you battles addiction, the impact can be profound. In this episode of 'Journey to Sobriety with SoberSteveRecovery', Steve opens up about the tough realities of relapse and recovery. Drawing from his own 13-year struggle with heroin addiction, he offers a raw and honest look at what it takes to stay on the path to sobriety.
Steve emphasizes the importance of routine, taking responsibility, and seeking help, while challenging the common belief that relapse is an unavoidable part of recovery. Instead, he suggests that setbacks can be opportunities for growth and self-reflection. But it's not just about the individual. Steve also explores how addiction affects relationships and stresses the importance of supporting friends and loved ones who are in the throes of addiction.
Whether you're in recovery yourself, helping someone who is, or just looking to understand more about this challenging journey, Steve's insights offer valuable perspectives and practical advice. Join Steve as he shares his personal stories and hard-earned wisdom, making this episode a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction.
