The R Word
1.
2. Let’s Talk About the “R” Word
Relapse… in order to succeed, you must plan
for the worst-case scenario. In recovery, the
worst-case scenario is relapse.
3. What are Triggers?
Triggers are situations, emotions, or periods
of time during which we become more
vulnerable to relapsing.
4. Who Experiences Triggers
Relapse triggers can be highly specific to:
• One person
• Common among a large group
• Or universal for all people in recovery
Common triggers are particularly negative emotions.
5. Not All Triggers are Negative
Positive emotions can also be triggers.
For example, confidence in recovery is often
a slippery slope that can quickly lead to
overconfidence.
6. Trigger Fallacy
Thinking “one drink won’t hurt” is a very
quick way to relapse. Be confident, but have
realistic expectations of yourself.
8. Identify Your Triggers
Triggers will vary from person to person, the
key is to figure out which ones are most
threatening to you.
