One of the most frequent questions I’m asked and see online is, “What’s considered a relapse in recovery?” To me, it’s a personal choice. I believe that each person’s recovery is their own to define. What may be a bottom line to me may not be a bottom line to someone else. A great tool to use is The Three Circles and the accompanying worksheet.

Raise your hand if you struggle with negative thoughts and emotions. Don’t worry—you’re not alone. We all do from time to time, and if we’re in recovery or healing, those negative thoughts and emotions can be pretty persistent. We can rewire them toward positive thinking, feelings, and behaviors. The more we push our brains in that direction, the more they will go that way on their own. Learn how to use my Meet It, Greet It, and Transform It technique.
