Ep. 333: The 3 Stages of Relapse: How To Stop Yourself Before You Start Drinking Again
About this episode
The episode discusses the three stages of relapse and how to recognize emotional and mental warning signs to maintain sobriety.
Thinking About Drinking Again After Going Alcohol-Free? Once you’ve gotten a period of time alcohol-free, how do you protect the progress you’ve made and avoid sliding back into the drinking cycle? Going back to drinking usually doesn’t begin when you actually pick up a glass. There are often emotional and mental warning signs that show up long before the physical act of drinking—and learning to recognize them gives you an opportunity to interrupt the process before you find yourself back in the drink → regret → repeat cycle. I know because I’ve lived it. That’s why I wanted to have this conversation with Angela Pugh, master life coach, interventionist and host of the Addiction Unlimited podcast. Angela has been alcohol-free since 2006, and we’re talking about the three stages of relapse—emotional, mental and physical—how to recognize the warning signs at each stage, and what you can do before drinking starts to feel inevitable.
