KEY TAKEAWAYS
Relapse is a common part of the recovery journey for many individuals struggling with addiction.
Relapse can take different forms, from going back to substance use to breaking sobriety commitments.
Negative comments and criticism can be triggering and potentially lead to relapse, so it's important to focus on positive support and self-care.
Relapse can be a result of feeling overconfident or complacent in one's recovery, leading to a gradual return to addictive behaviours.
Support from loved ones and a strong support system, such as attending meetings or therapy, can be crucial in overcoming a relapse and getting back on track with sobriety.
