How Do You Write A Relapse Prevention Plan?
Recovery from addiction is an ongoing process. If you are recovering from addiction and want to ensure that you don’t fall back into your old destructive lifestyle, you can put together a relapse recovery plan. This is a list of everything that can help you identity and deal with whatever may trigger your cravings. By having a plan to refer to when the urge strikes, you can take control of your urges and even learn how to bounce back if you do relapse. Make a list of five to ten things that could trigger your addiction, such as seeing people you used to drink with or even seeing a glass of beer on television. Write down solutions to each of these triggers. The solutions depend on what works for you, but an example could be to look at a picture of yourself at your worst. Write down at least five people you can call if you have the urge to relapse. These can include members of your support group, friends, family or anyone who can effectively talk you through a craving. Write down at leas
