Can we talk about the relapse spiral for a second?
You quit. You're doing great. Then something stresses you out — kid melts down, partner says the wrong thing, work goes sideways — and suddenly you're reaching for it again.
And then the shame hits. "I did it again. Why can't I just stick to it."
Here's the thing — that's not a willpower problem. Your nervous system panicked and your brain grabbed the fastest exit. That's it. That's the whole story.
You're not broken. You're not weak. You're just missing a plan for the moment stress hits.
