Is it normal to have relapses during recovery?

Yes, relapses occur more than once in recovery and are essentially not considered failures. Recovery is a process, and they can happen to anyone. What’s important is how you respond and continue working towards your long-term sobriety.

Guilt is natural; it’s there, but that doesn’t help. Without judgment, consider what led up to the relapse and then focus on what you can learn from it. Forgiving yourself is key to moving forward.

What can I do if I feel like I’m going to relapse again?

Identify your triggers and take proactive steps to avoid them. Reach out to your support system, attend a meeting, or engage in a positive activity that helps ground you. It’s okay to ask for help before things escalate.

How long should I wait after a relapse to get back into my recovery routine?

There is no need to wait. The quicker you get back into the recovery groove, the better. Go to a meeting now, check in with your sober network of friends or family, or practice mindfulness today to regain your control.

How can I talk to my loved ones about my relapse?

Be open and honest with your loved ones. Let them know you have experienced a slip, yet you are committed to further pursuing your recovery process. Communication helps them give more effective support and strengthens your resolve to stay on track.
