Why relapse can be so common: because you're falling back into this addictive pattern but you don't even really have the tools and the emotional sobriety to understand why and what's going on.
Relapse is often seen as a setback, but what if it's actually a natural part of the recovery journey? In this eye-opening episode of 'Genuine Life Recovery', host Jodie Stevens dives into the complexities of relapse and why it happens. While it's not something anyone aims for, understanding its roots can be incredibly empowering for those on the path to sobriety. Jodie breaks down the emotional, physical, and environmental triggers that can lead to a relapse.
Many people struggling with addiction find themselves disconnected from their emotions, making it difficult to recognize these triggers. This episode sheds light on how negative emotions play a significant role and offers practical advice on developing coping skills to manage them. Have you ever wondered why some days feel harder than others? Jodie explains that our coping mechanisms are often underdeveloped because addiction has been used as a crutch to deal with life's challenges.
This episode isn't just about identifying the problem; it's about finding solutions. Jodie shares strategies for recognizing triggers and building better coping skills to prevent future lapses. Relapse can feel like failure, but Jodie emphasizes that it's an opportunity to learn and grow. By working with a sponsor or therapist, you can develop personalized strategies to navigate these challenging times.
Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting a loved one, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips to help you stay on track. Tune in to 'Genuine Life Recovery' for a compassionate and informative discussion that will leave you feeling more prepared and hopeful about your journey to sobriety.
