[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 701564, member: 20267"] She is pretty typical of a drug addict in that she sets herself up to fail. Been there. Sometimes we are consciously sabotaging ourselves, and other times it is subconscious. The prospect of facing life directly, without the aid of substances, is terrifying for any addict. And gets scarier the longer we continue to use. Succeeding means making drastic, often unpleasant and difficult changes. It really is a hell of a lot easier to fail. This is the kind of thinking that causes relapse. Relapse is a crucial part of most addicts' recovery, though. Relapse isn't actually inevitable, but it is HIGHLY probable. It's what we choose to take from each relapse that really matters. As long as we can learn something about ourselves, and our triggers, relapse can be beneficial. It's a lot of trial and error. It requires true humility. [/QUOTE]
