Introduction

If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve experienced the gut-wrenching disappointment of a relapse. You’re not alone. My journey through—and ultimately out of—alcohol addiction was a marathon, not a sprint. For over two decades, I battled with addiction, encountering countless relapses along the way. Each time, I believed it was my last. When I left my Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in October 2017, I was convinced I had finally turned the corner. But life had one more relapse in store for me.

Early 2018 was a harsh reality check. The old drinking habits crept back, threatening to undo all my progress. Recognizing the peril, I enrolled in a “two-week refresher” of my IOP. That decision marked the true beginning of my recovery. Since finishing the two-week refresher in June 2018, I haven’t touched a drop of alcohol. My story is a testament to the idea that relapse, while heartbreaking, is not the end of the road—it’s a detour, a part of the journey toward sobriety.

In the aftermath of a relapse, you might feel like you’ve lost all progress, but I’m here to tell you that’s far from the truth. Relapses are steeped in valuable lessons and insights if we face them head-on. That’s why I’m introducing A New Chapter in Your Recovery: 31-Day Relapse Bounce Back Plan.
