Dr. Lantie Jorandby, a board-certified psychiatrist, says, “Most people in recovery will relapse at some point in their lives. That’s just the nature of the beast.” Then she recommends a course to take, to get back on the right path.
“Maybe most importantly, do an honest and thorough relapse autopsy right away to figure out what made it happen. Then keep moving forward, stay positive, ask for support to stay on track, and be kind to yourself.”
Important question: Have you had a recent relapse?
More important question: What will you do about it?
Recovery Step: Do a relapse autopsy. Then get back up.
