Chronic Relapsers

Vicious Cycle of Chronic Relapsing

It feels like you’re out of control. You have sought many avenues to achieve permanent sobriety, but they have all failed. You have entered multiple treatment centers only to relapse again. You have hit bottom, only to repeat this vicious cycle repeatedly. Your family has been torn apart, and you have lost countless jobs. Arrests become a regular occurrence. You experience overdosing, DUIs, and eventually complete demoralization.

Believing nothing will ever work and praying for the end, one cannot help but feel hopeless. You look around and start to wonder if it is even possible to stay sober at all. You are even worried that you are going crazy or that you are going to die. If you have experienced this, you are not alone. Millions of people on this planet suffer from chronic relapsing.

The Life of a Chronic Relapser

Many people suffering from chronic relapsing have terrifying experiences like sudden waves of fear, extreme discomfort, or intense anxiety that can last minutes or hours. This happens when the obsession to drink or to use drugs takes over. Below are some common feelings and behaviors that chronic relapsers engage in:

• Making firm resolutions to quit for good only to use once again
• Having been in more than two treatment facilities
• Having tried relocation or a change of environment to stay sober
• Having substituted drugs and alcohol with other addictions
• Experiencing serious consequences including legal, divorce, and loss of children as a direct result of using
• Feelings of hopelessness and powerlessness
• Denial of addiction and the consequences suffered
• Rationalizing and justifying unhealthy behaviors and actions
