Relapse doesn't happen overnight - it starts long before someone picks up a drink or a drug. In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, Tom Conrad and Benjamin B. break down the three biggest warning signs of relapse so you can recognize them early and take action before things spiral out of control. They discuss emotional relapse, where someone starts isolating, bottling up emotions, and neglecting self-care.
Mental relapse follows, with the dangerous inner battle of cravings, romanticizing the past, and rationalizing use. Finally, behavioural relapse is covered - the point at which one actually picks up the drink or drug. Through their personal experiences and those of others, Tom and Ben provide valuable insights and practical advice on how to spot these signs and prevent a full-blown relapse.
