After a Good Streak
I managed to stay clean for nearly three months, and then out of nowhere I fell back into it last weekend. The disappointment hit me hard. I guess I still don’t really get what causes relapse and how to prepare for it better. Where could I read a good explanation of why I keep relapsing?

I remember hitting a similar wall after a couple months of doing well, then one random weekend everything unraveled and I felt like I’d erased all my progress. It took me time to realize relapse isn’t usually “out of nowhere,” there are often small build ups we miss. I found this helpful read: why do I keep relapsing into depression . It breaks down the patterns behind it in a really down to earth way, and helped me stop seeing it as failure and more as something I could actually learn from.
