In this episode of the Chapter 3 Stigma Podcast, Kyle shares a very recent and personal story of experiencing an emotional relapse. He discusses the steps he took to confront his quickly emerging resentments and fears using the 12-step process, particularly focusing on the fourth step from the Alcoholics Anonymous big book.

Through recounting his experience with a low performance review at work, he illustrates the importance of self-inventory, recognizing personal contributions to problems, and the ongoing nature of recovery.

Listeners are encouraged to notice the early signs of relapse and address them proactively within their recovery journey.
