RELAPSE! A relapse happens when a person stops maintaining his or her goal of avoiding the use of alcohol or drugs and returns to their previous use. On this edition of Clean and Sober Radio, host Gary Hendler and cohost Mark Sigmund discuss the reasons people decide to go back to their active addiction with Kevin Hyer of The Hyer Calling Foundation and Robyn Johnson who has managed relapses in her recovery journey. What causes someone to relapse? Is a relapse a part of the recovery process? Is it expected and accepted during your recovery or is it an excuse to use again? We attempt to answer these questions without judgement.
