Recognizing the Early Signs of Relapse and What NOT to Do


Listen Later

Did you know that many people don’t realize they’re on the path to relapse until it’s too late?
The truth is, relapse doesn’t happen in a single moment—it’s a slow buildup of emotions, stressors, and unchecked behaviors that compromise your decision-making over time.
In this episode, we’re breaking down the early warning signs of relapse so you can recognize them before they get the best of you.
From seemingly harmless triggers like work stress and family dynamics to emotional overwhelm and self-doubt, I’ll help you uncover the patterns that could be quietly steering you back toward drinking.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
✅ Why cravings aren’t really about the drink but about the need to change how you feel.
✅ How daily stressors and emotions weaken your resilience over time.
✅ The key emotional and mental warning signs to watch for.
✅ Simple strategies to interrupt the relapse cycle and stay on track.
The number one takeaway?
Relapse is preventable when you know what to look for and have the tools to stay in control.
You don’t have to let life’s challenges derail your sobriety. Let’s get clear on how to protect your progress and keep moving forward, one day at a time.
