Episode Overview
- Relapse is a common part of the recovery process.

Relapses are common. They're characteristic of addictive disease. So join the club. You're not alone if that's any comfort.
In this episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths', the focus is on a crucial yet often misunderstood aspect of addiction recovery: relapse. Host Bruno Jay tackles the myth that an addict who relapses is a failure, emphasising that relapse is actually a common part of the recovery journey. Bruno draws from his own experiences and shares compelling anecdotes that shed light on why relapse happens and how it can be a stepping stone rather than a setback.
The episode also explores the psychological games addicts play, such as deflection and manipulation, and how these behaviours impact their loved ones. Bruno explains that love alone isn't enough to pull someone out of addiction; commitment and understanding are essential. The discussion also touches on the importance of acting swiftly when a relapse occurs, stressing that the sooner an addict returns to treatment, the better their chances of long-term recovery.
If you've ever felt frustrated or hopeless about a loved one's repeated attempts to quit, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice to help you navigate these challenging waters. It's a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction, providing a mix of empathy, real-world examples, and actionable steps to foster hope and resilience.
