Understanding Relapse and Its Triggers

A relapse occurs when an individual who has made progress in their recovery fully engages in their addictive behavior again, contrasting with a 'slip,' which is a minor setback. This distinction is crucial as relapses can derail the momentum gained in recovery, making it vital for individuals to develop both awareness of their temptations and a solid plan for managing cravings. Many people fail because they rely solely on willpower to avoid substances but lack a comprehensive strategy for handling triggers when they arise. Recognizing the nuances of these terms helps create a more effective approach to preventing setbacks and maintaining progress in recovery.
