Relapse Episodes

Relapse is often a part of recovery, but it is frequently misunderstood and stigmatised. This category reframes relapse as a learning opportunity rather than a failure, featuring stories of individuals who have used setbacks to build resilience and deepen their commitment to recovery. Episodes provide practical strategies for recognizing triggers, developing prevention plans, and maintaining long-term sobriety. By normalising relapse as part of the healing process, the podcast fosters hope and perseverance.
