Relapse doesn't mean starting over. It means starting again by starting differently, this time with more self-knowledge and a renewed commitment to recovery.
Relapse can feel like a crushing blow, but what if it could be a stepping stone instead? In this episode of 'Recovery Road', William C. Moyers, author of 'Now What? An Insider's Guide to Addiction and Recovery', shares his personal journey and offers a fresh perspective on relapse. Moyers believes that relapse doesn't have to spell failure; instead, it can be a valuable lesson in the recovery process.
He emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for one's addiction and staying accountable in the recovery journey. Moyers warns against the dangers of complacency and addiction transfer, urging listeners to stay vigilant and proactive. He encourages those in recovery to seek support, maintain their efforts, and prioritize their physical and emotional health. With heartfelt anecdotes and practical advice, Moyers provides guidance on how to turn setbacks into opportunities for growth and renewed commitment.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the challenges of addiction and seeking long-term recovery.
