With any Addiction, Relapse isn't failure. Giving up is Failure.


Relapse does not erase your Successes of Recovery
Once one realizes there is a problem with a certain addictive habit and then takes action towards fixing that harmful behavior, that person is on there way out of the hole of resentment. The action phase will set in and as time goes on the maintenance phase will be imminent.  If one has finally overcame his or her indiscretion, but relapsed, he or she is still hundreds of steps ahead of those still pinned in the pre-contemplative phase. A relapse may be an unsettling push back into old habits, but it is all a learning process. Life is full of setbacks, those who dwell on setbacks and give up have ultimately failed. Learning from a relapse will only make one stronger if not unstoppable.
