= The Cause & Effect of Relapse =

Relapse is an ongoing learning experience that takes a sincere dedication and conscious effort on a daily basis and can occur anytime after a short or long life of drug addictive behaviour. Once you are so heavily dependent on a substance being free of it takes every bit of strength and audacity you have left. But what happens when you do slip up and become involved in drug addictive behaviour again? How do you cope with the feelings of failure and hopelessness? How do you make it through another day? What do you learn and gain from this experience in life? How does this affect your family? How do you recover once and for all from something like this? These are all things that relapse victims are trying to understand and grasp to encourage a drug free life. With the right motivation and determination they can seize it and be drug free.
