Don’t worry. Relapse is part of the recovery process. Everyone has heard the old saying about learning from our mistakes. You can learn from relapse about situations and people to avoid. Sometimes people forget how bad things were in the past and relapse reminds them of the life they do not want to go back to.

If I relapse have I messed everything up?

No. You can’t relapse unless you’re clean and getting clean is a great accomplishment. Relapse does not remove the milestones and goals you have already met. People in the medical community have come to realize that relapse is a natural part of the process. The important thing is to learn from your relapse and go right back to building the investment that you have made in yourself. If you learn from your relapse it will happen less often. After a while you’ll learn enough to keep yourself out of situations that cause a relapse.
