Getting it right means relapse is a natural part of the recovery process.
Imagine treating every mistake as a total failure. That’s often how relapse is viewed in the world of addiction recovery. In this eye-opening episode of the 'Real Sobriety Podcast', Robert McClellan flips the script on this common misconception. With his trademark blend of humor and wisdom, Robert dives into why relapse should be seen as a natural part of the recovery journey rather than a mark of defeat.
Drawing from real-life examples and personal anecdotes, he compares relapse to errors made in everyday life, like missing a goal in sports or making a wrong turn while driving. These mistakes don't define us; they help us learn and grow. Robert encourages listeners to embrace their imperfections and forgive themselves, making it clear that relapse can be an opportunity for a fresh start rather than a dead end.
This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with self-doubt and perfectionism on their path to sobriety. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Robert's insights offer a refreshing perspective that will leave you feeling uplifted and ready to face the next step.
