1. Avoiding Relapse
During The
Holidays
The holidays are quickly approaching.
While most people view this time of
year with excitement and anticipation,
others may experience anxiety or
depression for a variety of reasons. For
those in recovery the festive season can
be a minefield of holiday trauma
triggers that are tricky to navigate.
Avoiding Relapse: Identifying
Holiday Triggers in Recovery
The first step in developing any relapse
prevention plan is to identify potential
triggers. This includes fairly obvious
things like being around people who are
actively using or keeping drugs or
alcohol in your home, as well as triggers
you may not anticipate.
