RELAPSE HAPPENS

First things first, keep in mind that relapse can and does happen.

It especially has a high probability in those that do not continue to focus on their recovery. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to think that you are good to go after completing drug treatment, or that you can control your use. It still takes time and a great personal effort and sacrifice to stay clean, safe, and healthy.


Personal Daily Effort

One of the most important aspects of a treatment program is the structure it provides.

It teaches planning. It teaches responsibility. It also emphasizes the commitment to a daily effort for recovery. In a rehab program, you typically wake up at the same time each morning and likewise retire in the evening. There are daily requirements to accomplish. These things can seem superficial at first, but in the long run can teach the valuable life skill of daily responsibility and focus on what is important. It helps to put and keep one’s recovery first. Some things you can do to keep a daily personal focus are to:

  • Meditate
  • Plan out your day
  • Write in a journal
  • Always eat 3 meals each day (ideally around the same time)
  • Review the day’s events before you go to bed
  • Plan and prepare for tomorrow’s events

Support and Community Programs

12-step and recovery-oriented programs will introduce you to a community of recovering addicts.

This will probably be Cocaine or Narcotics Anonymous. However, others have found very strong recovery support by being in A.A. as well. After treatment is completed, the old adage is to attend 90 meetings in 90 days. This gets you involved in the community. It gets you a sponsor and forging new friendships with others in recovery. It provides needed support for dealing with the struggles of early recovery and it provides a place where you can grow and serve in sobriety.

Over time, you will not need meetings every day. You will not need to check in with your sponsor on a nightly basis. The benefit you will find is the opportunity to serve others in need of support. By sharing your story you not only help them, but it strengthens your resolve as well. The Local Recovery page of our website provides links to local fellowships and communities in the U.S.


Take Time for Self-Care

Fear, anxiety, and stress are dangerous emotions for those in early recovery. They can be triggers to relapse. By taking time to personally care for yourself and relax you can greatly reduce these emotions.

Find wholesome and uplifting activities to help you in recovery. Find things that you love to do. Plan and take time to do these activities. It is perhaps the most important preventative measure for taking care of yourself, physically emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. One such positive activity that is often emphasized is exercise.

It is physically rewarding to get out in some capacity and get in some exercise. You do not necessarily need to train for a marathon, but find exercise activities you enjoy. They will reward you as you take the time to care for yourself. There are many suggestions for practicing self-care here are a few:

  • Eating Right – 3 balanced meals a day
  • Getting enough sleep
  • Exercise / going for a jog (walk) / Yoga
  • Do something fun or creative
  • Read a Book
  • Go to church
  • Be involved in service
  • Journal writing
  • Meditation / Prayer
  • Spend time with family
  • Get out into the outdoors

There are many other areas and programs available to help those who have completed a treatment program. Focus on the programs and services that will help you most and stay involved in those efforts. Most importantly, remember that you are never alone in this process. As long as you are willing to stay involved, there are services and people willing to help and support your recovery.
