Or if we don't know, we begin to quickly see. But you know, on the other hand, if you do relapse after a long period of sobriety, I don't know, yeah, that's bad.
Ever wondered why relapse happens and how to prevent it? In this episode of 'Recovery in the Middle Ages', Mike and Nat break down the complexities of relapse, sharing both personal stories and scientific insights.

The episode is packed with practical advice on identifying and managing triggers. Whether it's stress, loneliness, or just being plain tired, Mike and Nat offer strategies to help you stay on track. They emphasize the importance of positive social support and self-awareness, and discuss how surrounding yourself with the right people can make all the difference.

It's a mix of serious discussion and light-hearted banter that makes for an engaging listen. If you're navigating the rocky road of recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a bit of comic relief.
