You need a bulletproof way to stay with recovery and prevent relapse. To find the answer, I went back to basic questions about addiction. Addictive behaviors come into your life when you do things that make you feel better, but do not reduce your anxiety. There is nothing wrong with trying to feel better. People always drink or addict for good reasons, in that they are trying to feel better and deal with stress.
Addiction comes from trying to deal with anxiety in ineffectual ways.
Most of us have not realized that anxiety is the real culprit. Neither have we been taught how to take care of anxiety head on. Acute anxiety is occasional. It's what happens when you see a lion in the road. A problem presents itself.
