Relapse Vs Lapse, What Is The Difference? | Stop Beating Yourself Up If You Slip!

My Friends! I have a very important topic to speak about today!
What is the difference between a relapse and a lapse. There is a huge difference that I really think you should know so you are not so hard on yourself if you fall off the horse.
A lapse is a simple lapse of judgement on your behalf. You might slip up and have a drink but the main thing is that you are still committed to your sobriety program. You understand your mistake and you are ready to hop back on the horse. That is OK we are all human and we make human mistakes. Just remember to get back up, You will be ok.
A Relapse is simply giving up on your recovery plan and reverting back to your old habits. DO NOT DO THIS. Remember your recovery is up to you. If you have given up on your recovery that is a relapse.
So my friends, if you slip up, be honest, brush it off and keep going. We are all human and we make mistakes. What we do after those mistakes is what forms our future.
Remember Ric Flair Is a 16x World Champion, he had to fall 15 times to get there, but he is still the best World champion
I hope you guys stay safe, if I can do anything to help please let me know!

It took me some time to understand this so glad Ky made a video covering this. Nobody's perfect so don't expect the change to happen immediately they'll definitely be slip ups on your journey just keep on and never give up❤️
