Well said Chris... both posts!

..... " I am not the only one who is a chronic relapser, many people are. This is another line of justifying your behavior that will, in your mind, make it OK to use again."


Yep I'm all on board with that one! *A* relapse is one thing, if you learn from it. Relapse after relapse after relapse..... is continued use...IMO.

I am NOT one that believes that relapse is a part of recovery. IMO... doing so just leaves the door cracked open to use again.

It's a little seed that planted in back of your mind..... Woops I relapsed.... it's just a part of recovery though..... NO it's an excuse to use again.
