Part (2/3) - HERE
Along the path to crushing addiction - whatever your habit - setbacks are expected because life tends to test your resolve, especially when you commit to improving.
Life's inevitable instances of grief, shock and pain can knock us for six and send us searching for a quick way to remove or deaden the suffering and discomfort.
Perhaps you receive a hefty tax bill, or an anticipated promotion doesn't materialise. Worse, a relationship may end, or you experience the death of a loved one.
Such vulnerable moments demand your clear-eyed appraisal because responding to upheaval with a return to destructive habits will only set you back further.
When life sets a steep test, addiction's physical and emotional weight is the last thing you want to carry. In this third and final instalment, we cover a plan to prevent addiction relapse and how to manage it when it happens.
