  • Recommit to your sobriety immediately with small steps.

Relapse doesn't mean you're weak. It means your nervous system is screaming for relief.
Relapsing can feel like the end of the world, but Angela Pugh is here to tell you that it's not. In this episode of Addiction Unlimited, Angela shares her wisdom on how to start over without shame and reclaim your sobriety. If you've had a slip-up after a period of sobriety, don't beat yourself up. Instead, consider it as feedback that something in your support system needs tweaking.
Angela explains why relapse happens even to the strongest among us and how to move forward with compassion and a solid plan. Through real-life examples, like her client Sarah who relapsed after nearly a year, Angela demonstrates that recovery is about persistence, not perfection. She offers practical steps to stop the shame spiral, get honest with yourself, and recommit to your sobriety today.
Angela also introduces her Alcohol-Free April 21-Day Challenge, designed to help you reset your mindset and rebuild your support system. With daily structure, motivation, and a community of like-minded individuals, this challenge is the perfect way to get back on track. Angela's candid and supportive approach makes this episode a must-listen for anyone struggling with relapse or looking for ways to strengthen their recovery journey.
