10 Everyday Stressors that Increase Your Risk of Relapse in Sobriety

  What if the little things—traffic jams, work deadlines, or even family gatherings—are quietly sabotaging your sobriety? These everyday stressors could be leading you closer to relapse without you even realizing it. People say, I don’t even know how it happened, or, it was a split second decision, but that is really never the case. The point of this episode is to understand how and why you are compromised and weakened in a daily basis, and how that leads you to relapse without you knowing it's happening. The number one thing I want you to understand in the addiction recovery equation is that it’s all emotion-based. Not to say that’s the only component, because it’s not. At the core of addiction is a desire to change how you feel. Whether it’s making your happy happier, quieting the noise in your head so you can relax, taking the edge off of stress, or numbing what you don’t want to feel at all. Craving isn’t about the substance, it’s about wanting to feel different. You are compromised every day by life’s daily stressors, and if you don’t do anything to feel better, to regulate your nervous system so that you can make better decisions... ...then you will always be prey for alcohol.   Links mentioned in this episode:  Is Angela the right Coach for you?
