Relapse is the "cardinal sin" in many addiction recovery programs, despite the fact that most people will relapse at least once, and many more than once.

Good news...relapses are preventable.

Avoiding Relapse examines the red flags that indicate we are in danger of a relapse, the triggers that set it off, and the healthy relationships that can not only prevent relapse but move us from recovery to complete freedom from addiction.

The author. a retired prison chaplain, has been sober and clean without relapse since December 31st, 1979, and personally and professionally engaged in addiction recovery ever since.
