7 Strategies for Preventing a Relapse

Relapse is a term that’s usually used in talking about alcohol and drugs. However, it can be applied to any habit.

Maybe you stuck to your diet for weeks, and then overindulged at an office birthday party. Maybe you went 10 years without a cigarette, and then bought a pack when you broke up with your boyfriend or girlfriend.

Remember that your ultimate success in developing healthy habits is more important than any backsliding.

Use these suggestions to prevent and recover from relapses.
