Relapse can feel like the ultimate failure—but it’s not. What matters most isn’t that you slipped, but what you do next.

In this episode, we’re taking a deep dive into what led up to the relapse, rather than just focusing on the final moment of picking up a drink.

If you’ve relapsed or fear you might, this episode is for you.

Let’s turn this setback into a learning experience—one that helps you move forward stronger than before.
