Relapse prevention - the early warning signs and how to avoid relapsing

It reminds me I should pay attention to the early warning signs. Something I don't do a good job of.

 

This is so true, gonna bookmark this. Thanks for sharing!

 

I'm sure warning signs are completely individual. You should know your own warning signs. Delete them from your mind and re-focus.

 

It really was a good, concise video. It had a good focus on the idea that relapses don't just happen in the blink of an eye and that handling them isn't just saying a final NO at the last moment.

I'd like to add that a single, firm NO isn't always enough, because asking "am I going to relapse?" isn't a fleeting question, once asked, once answered and finished with that, it's more of a stage. If you perceive it as a yes-no question, you'll eventually buckle, because your body keeps on asking the question at that stage.

And the video had good notions on how to avoid the relapse-stage and how to get out of it once you're there.
