Join Rachel and Andrea, just the girls this time, as they discuss the importance of "Getting Into Action" and the steps you can take before or after a relapse. The points they cover are as follows: 

• Realize it’s only a temporary insanity. 
• Dial numbers. Call your sponsor, sober friends or a family member for help. 
• Surround yourself with people who got your back.
• Have an accountability partner. Make a plan! 
• Assess your current circumstances: who are your friends, intimate partner, and mind set.
• Play the IF game: What IF you took it this far?
• Think about the people you’ll hurt along the way. 
• Think about all that you worked for and what you stand to loose.
• Go into a meeting ASAP and talk about it. 
• Get honest with your sponsor and rework the steps.
• If all fails, get on your knees and pray to the God of your understanding.
• And if you do succumb to it, get right back on the horse and pick up a white chip. Sometimes the same mistakes have to happen so you can stand firmer on your feet.
