Once we accept that how we are feeling is the first cue to a relapse, then you can understand that by just checking in with yourself on a more regular basis about how you're doing, you can ward off that first emotional response that leads to a relapse.
Have you ever wondered why some people relapse and others don't? In this episode of the HammeredRecovery Podcast, Justin Hammerback unpacks the emotional stages of relapse and offers practical advice to steer clear of common pitfalls. Justin kicks things off by breaking down the different types of AA meetings—whether open, closed, gender-specific, or discussion-based—and helps you figure out which one might be the best fit for you. But that's just the beginning.
The real meat of the episode is Justin's exploration of the stages of relapse. He explains that it all starts with an emotional trigger, which can spiral into mental cravings and eventually lead to physical use. By recognizing these triggers early on and regularly checking in with yourself, you can stop a relapse before it starts. Justin doesn't just talk theory; he shares his own experiences and reflections, making the advice feel grounded and relatable.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this journey for a while, this episode is packed with valuable insights that can help you stay on track. So if you're looking for practical tips and heartfelt advice on navigating the tricky terrain of recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
