What I liked, what I found interesting about that is, I think that if I say it was just a lapse, I had one beer or whatever. You don't want to beat yourself up over it, though I feel like you have to do a full-blown autopsy, full-blown on what led to it, and get really clear about it, or it'll just could happen again.
What if relapse isn't a failure but a step on the road to recovery? In this episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety, co-hosts John Sheldon and Mary C. tackle the often-taboo topic of relapse, offering a fresh perspective that could change how you view setbacks. They dive into their personal stories and share insights on the emotional, mental, and physical aspects of relapse.
By breaking down the five rules of recovery, they highlight the importance of self-care, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and community support. The hosts also discuss the pitfalls of bottling up emotions, isolating oneself, and romanticizing past substance use. With practical advice on scheduling enjoyable activities and addressing other addictions, this episode is packed with tips on learning from relapses and preventing them in the future. It's a comprehensive look at how to navigate the ups and downs of recovery without losing hope.
