Listen "More Than Just a Slip: Understanding Relapse"
Episode Synopsis
In today’s episode of Recovery Daily Podcast, I discuss how there is no difference between a "slip" and a relapse, and I feel that it’s important to not minimize a relapse by calling it something other than what it is. I share my experiences from early sobriety, when I mistakenly thought I had to endure my emotional pain one day at a time for the rest of my life. I had no clue that the pain itself would lessen as long as I didn’t drink and I worked the steps, attended meetings, and applied the principles in all my affairs.
Relapse happens far before we pick up that drink—it begins when we stop participating emotionally, mentally, and spiritually in our recovery program. I explore how maintaining sobriety means taking daily action, not just avoiding alcohol.
I discuss how "one day at atime" applies my to stroke recovery as well. Learn how I’ve come to understand the impermanence of emotional pain and how I protect my serenity today by addressing life’s challenges before they take root.
