Relapse doesn’t happen overnight—it’s often preceded by a phase called "pre-lapse," where individuals start disengaging from the practices that keep them sober. This episode explores how small choices, like skipping meetings or neglecting accountability, can create a false sense of control, making relapse more likely.
Steven emphasizes the importance of maintaining a strong support system, staying engaged in recovery programs, and recognizing complacency as a major risk. We also discuss the role of spirituality—not necessarily religious belief, but an awareness of something greater than oneself—as a grounding force in sobriety.
Accountability is key, and Steven shares how personal strategies, like open communication with loved ones, help safeguard recovery. Ultimately, staying sober is an ongoing commitment, not a one-time achievement. Tune in for insights on recognizing pre-lapse early and building a daily routine that reinforces long-term sobriety.
