New Life House announces their current blog article discussing why addicts should not look at relapse as a failure.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 06, 2015 -- Into the Heart of Addiction announces their newest featured blog article revealing why relapsing after some time sober is not a failure but an opportunity. Being perfect or expecting perfection from an addict or alcoholic is a set up for disappointment - both for the addict and his or her family. The article gives ten reasons why people relapse and speaks to the need for self-love and tolerance.
“When I exercise the adversity muscle and stay sober no matter what comes, I earn a little more gratitude, a little more self-esteem, a little more time. However, when I get off the recovery train, I forfeit my self-esteem, my dignity, the forward momentum is lost and I’m back at square one, nothing ever changes. It doesn’t mean the trip was a failure, it’s just time to jump back on,” says Into the Heart of Addiction editor and writer, Martha Lockie.
