I had 8.5yrs of sobriety and relapsed. I’ve been out about 4.5yrs. I currently have 10 days of sobriety and I recently went back to AA program after several failed attempts of moderating and quitting on my own. I traced my relapse back to feeling like I no longer felt compatible with people in the program, I began feeling like I was missing out and thought maybe I was different (not a REAL alcoholic) since I had come into the program voluntarily before experiencing some of the destructive consequences others had experienced. I appreciate the tips on relapse prevention! Ps I’m a new follower and really appreciate your videos as I also have a son who is an addict who is severally addicted and I don’t know if he even has a bottom!! He’s lost his family, job, been to prison repeatedly, etc. I wish I had found a channel like this when he was a teenager!

Back at square one. In trying to prevent a relapse while I get to swim through all these triggers. I'm really happy I can go back and watch and rewatch. Especially now that I'm struggling. Thanks so much for putting these out.

Wow. This really describes me perfectly. It’s the booze convincing me that I’m different, that I’m not really an alcoholic. Jeez. Richard Burton put it very well. “It’s like a boxing match you have to fight every day. He’s waiting for you every day and he’ll use every trick in the book to knock you out.” I was 7 years sober and thought I was “cured”.

I have 8 years of sobriety on 4/19 and am now a CADC 1 I will be showing your video's in my groups at the treatment facility I work at. What I love about them is not only the information but the fact that they are the only videos that dont have triggering content!!!
Thank you for doing these <3

45 days clean now. Had almost 3 years clean before, took me 32 days to take a suboxone, but I'm only taking the lowest doses to help some PAWS. Stomach pain and anxiety. But not enough to block cravings, i just have 0 desire to use anymore. I identified my traumas that were not in my forefront, blaming everything else but these traumas. I just can't numb it anymore i love my emotions. The sickness was also a trauma to me, surrender.... best way to start three changes

My eldest son was sober from meth for 8 years after using 20 and has recently relapsed. He says he has been using 3 years, I feel so used. I was his biggest cheerleader. He was working as a addiction counselor and I was asking for his help with our youngest son who is a severe alcoholic. I feel like a fool. Ready to just give up and move away.

I’ve heard this all the time from my son. He just relapsed again.

[sherrysharpe]

I work in a Non-profit Co-occurring Disorder program. I’m looking for good materials to share with my clients. I like your down-to-earth style.

[lesleymacdonald]

Your right about saying I have done so good so I can have a wee bit x

[vannamarie]

Staying sober is forcing me to cut off friends who drink... i relapsed a few days ago, and I am still in bed. I feel so gross, so upset with myself. Signed up for online therapy today, just trying to move in with my life in the healthiest way without support of family is very difficult.

[lauramaymurphy]

I'm an alcoholic and your information is fantastic. Thank you ❤️

[jonathanparry]

I'm new just relapsed on alcohol, cocaine and kratom after 32 days 😔 was just starting to feel good as well. It started by watching football with my buddies who were drinking it's been 48 hours now off the drink n coke, flushed the kratom but still have a dose left. Sooo pissed off and so is my wife. Thanks for the videos. PS I'm from Scotland so football = soccer

[verup]

A loved one relapsed recently and he says there's not root motive for why it happened. He just wanted to get high. Is it possible there's no real deep reason for what's causing it or they just don't want to dig deep?

[dh]

It's scary for me as a parent of an alcoholic to hear that 'sometimes relapse just happens." Holy Moly. I want to see her have lasting victory. Please tell me it's possible.

[andrewnisbet]
