Relapse Trigger #1: Putting Yourself In Difficult Situations Like Visiting Your Favorite Bar Or Hanging Out With Friends Who Are Still Using

Perhaps the most difficult part of recovery is leaving behind old friends or old habits that got us into trouble in the first place. Even if we are committed to staying away from your previous group of friends or hangouts, if we don't change our habits and interests, we can quickly find yourself with a new group of friends or hangout spots that are just as damaging to our recovery process.

Relapse Prevention Action Plan:

• Find alternative places to hang out like a local bookstore or coffee shop.
• Choose companions who seek a healthy lifestyle.
• Go to a recovery based meeting.
