    Relapse does not have to be a part of the recovery process, but it is a reality that many will encounter. The necessity to hit a painful bottom has proven to be a very effective motivator toward a successful recovery. “when the pain of remaining the same becomes greater than the pain of changing, we will change” (Narcotics Anonymous, 1992, pg. 173). There is hope, as the substance user will discover, through the necessary treatment of change. Yet many do not understand relapse and are often left with shame, fear, and distorted perceptions of its ability to oppose positive change.…

Most of the time relapse can further help an addict gain a greater insight to what triggers are setting their addiction off and how to avoid the situations and behaviors that caused them to relapse. Every addict is different and a relapse in does not need to be labeled as failure, some people do not have the support of family or sober friends and this is just a part of their recovery process. Some people don’t have the support of others and if they relapse noone is there to make them feel accountable or even guilty.…

    An entire discourse could be written about the definition of relapse and Miller, W. (1996) articulates it best: “here we come to the edge of a vast ocean of complexity” . Traditionally, relapse and recovery were binary concepts – one was either sober or in relapse. In the modern era of addiction science, the re-initiation of substance use after intentional recovery is often conceptualized along a continuum from lapse to relapse to the re-activation of addiction.

    This lesson was very insightful and left me reflecting on which steps would have the potential to have a negative effect on an alcoholic, and I feel that steps four, five and six have the greatest potential for relapse due to the intensity of feelings associated with negative self-reflections and shameful feelings due to confronting those individuals affected by the alcoholics’ behavior while using. While working through lesson 4 a person who is new to recovery may have some persona feelings that they would still like to numb instead of documenting the fears, and immoral behaviors. These behaviors regarding sexual behaviors may not be immoral to them, and to share them with another individual during step 5 may make them embarrassed or ashamed. This fear of judgement could lead them to use. I personally believe that there are high risk situations surrounding confronting some individuals who may harbor hurt feelings toward the substance abuser.…
