Episode 20: Relapse Prevention Part III

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.
