In Episode Two Hundred Ninety One of Bob Forrest's Don't Die Podcast, Bob and Chuk return with their signature blend of humour and hard-hitting truths. This episode is a rollercoaster of topics, from the seriousness of relapse to the lighter moments of Sydney Forrest's soccer championship. Bob's candid take on the misuse of the term 'relapse' in the recovery community is both enlightening and provocative.
He argues that true relapse should only be used to describe a return to substance use after a significant period of genuine abstinence and recovery, rather than short-term slips often mislabelled as relapses. This perspective is sure to spark debate among listeners and professionals alike. The duo also touch on the importance of self-sufficiency in children, with Bob sharing personal anecdotes about teaching his daughter to comb her own hair and tie her shoes.

Eddie Vedder's grace under pressure and the challenges of parenting are also explored, adding layers to the conversation.
