Guys often see relapse as an event where a bottom-line behavior in engaged in. In this scenario recovery is measured by the absence of relapse events.
It’s more helpful to see relapse as a state that we can easily enter in and out of based on our thoughts and actions. It’s full of hiding, unsound activities, and unhealthy living.
