Relapse Prevention (RP) needs to be integrated into each stage of the treatment/recovery process.

Listening usually requires that you stop your own mouth from moving.

People who relapse aren't suddenly taken drunk. Most experience progressive warning signs that reactivate denial and cause so much pain that self-medication with alcohol or drugs seems like a good idea.

As fallible human beings, we fail at times because we haven’t yet learned from our mistakes.

The goal of recovery is to live a sober and responsible life without the need for alcohol, drugs, or addictive behaviors.

Relapse warning signs develop automatically and unconsciously. Most people don't notice them until the pain and problems become too severe to ignore.”
