Ep 12: The Relapse Map


Listen Later

In this episode of Joy Recovery Radio, we delve into the crucial topic of relapse in addiction recovery. The discussion includes differentiating between relapse and slip, and the importance of recognizing and discarding the term 'slip' from recovery vocabulary. The episode introduces a 'threat detection tool,' comprising three concentric circles representing 'acting out,' 'acting in,' and various 'threats,' and how these contribute to relapse. Emphasis is laid on bottom-line behaviors, defining relapse, and understanding twelve intimacy-avoiding behaviors. Additionally, the episode outlines psychological, conversational, situational, and other categories of threats. A three-step process for post-relapse recovery is also shared, highlighting the need for radical honesty, intimacy with God, self, and others, and effective accountability.
