Rethinking Relapse: Insights and Strategies for Long-Term Recovery

When somebody relapses, they get this belief that, like I, just can't do this instead of looking at kind of the external or internal stressors that led them there and working to kind of shore up their resources.
Relapse is often seen as a setback, but what if it could be a turning point? In this episode of 'The Right Mind Media Podcast', hosts Jon Cohan and Gabrielle 'Abby' Dean dive into the realities of relapse in addiction recovery. With 70-80% of people experiencing a lapse or relapse, they emphasize that it's not the end of the road but rather an opportunity to strengthen one's recovery journey.
Jon and Abby unpack the concept of relapse prevention, offering practical advice on how to navigate this challenging phase. They discuss the power of self-talk and why being kind to oneself can make all the difference. Instead of viewing relapse as failure, they suggest seeing it as a chance to learn about personal triggers and build a stronger support network. The hosts also highlight the importance of realistic expectations and the role of a sober community in maintaining long-term recovery.
This episode is packed with valuable insights and compassionate advice, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction, whether directly or through a loved one.
