Although the definition of addiction is that it is a chronic disease marked by relapse, that doesn't have to be a self-fulfilling prophecy or an admission of total defeat.
Relapse is often seen as a setback, but it can also be a turning point. In this episode of 'The Bubble Hour', host Jean McCarthy opens up a conversation about the realities of relapse. The guests share candid stories of their own struggles, emphasizing that relapse isn't the end of the road, but rather a detour on the path to sobriety.
They talk about the importance of honesty with oneself and loved ones, recognizing early warning signs, and seeking support when it's needed most. The episode dives into the mental gymnastics that often accompany relapse, like rationalizing that 'one drink won't hurt', and offers practical advice on how to quiet that inner voice. Listeners will hear heartfelt accounts of falling down and getting back up, underscoring the message that recovery is always within reach.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has experienced relapse or is supporting someone who has, offering a compassionate reminder that hope and help are always available.
