Re-lapse is treatable
Relapsing does not mean that you have jeopardised your recovery.
We understand the issues you are facing and can help you work through your re-lapse and continue in your recovery. At Life Works, we know that relapse does happen but it is not the end of your journey. As difficult as it may be, facing and dealing with your re-lapse can become a valuable step in building a strong foundation for healthy, sustained, long-term recovery.
At Life Works we can help treat re-lapse. If you have re-lapsed or wish to discuss your re-lapse prevention plan, please call us now on 0800 081 0700 to discuss how Life Works can help you or email us for more information.
What you can do about your re-lapse
- Understand that for many people, re-lapse is a common part of the recovery process. Having a re-lapse does not mean that you have ruined your recovery. But how you respond to your re-lapse will make a huge difference to your sobriety – and your future.
- Deal with it, don't ignore it. By ignoring your re-lapse, not talking about it and avoiding your feelings, you are increasing your risk of further re-lapse, and jeopardising your future recovery.
- Other ways you can get help are to re-engage with your support network, for example, calling your sponsor, talking to a professional therapist, a trusted friend or family member, or attending a 12-step Fellowship meeting (see below for details).
- It's essential that you get help now. You cannot deal with this alone. There is support available to you and the sooner you access it, the better.
Please call us now on 0800 081 0700 to discuss how Life Works can help you or email us for more information.
There are consequences for your health, safety and future if you don't act now.
