There's a remarkable 10% who achieve long-term sobriety and maintain it for decades. What separates this successful minority from those who struggle with repeated relapses? The answer isn't what most people expect.
Relapse means returning to drinking (or using substances) after a period of sobriety. It can feel sudden, but it usually builds up over time.
Relapse often presents warning signs before a person resumes drinking. Families who are vigilant for these indicators can step in promptly.
