Relapsing after a period of sobriety can feel devastating.

Shame creeps in.
Motivation drops.
And the thought “Maybe I just can’t do this” gets loud.

In episode 263 of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I talk openly about alcohol relapse, why it happens, how alcohol and stress are often connected, and what to do next without turning a setback into a full spiral.

Relapse doesn’t erase your progress.
It identifies where support and structure need strengthening.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why a sobriety relapse is not proof that you failed
• How shame after relapse damages motivation more than alcohol does
• What to do immediately after drinking so you can get back on track
• The real connection between alcohol and stress
• Practical ways to relax without alcohol when emotions feel overwhelming
• How to rebuild your motivation to stay sober after a setback
• Why a sober community increases long-term success
• How sobriety coaching provides tools, structure, and compassion

This conversation is especially supportive for shaky sober women who have quit before, relapsed, and now feel afraid to try again.

Alcohol and stress are deeply intertwined for many women. Without learning how to regulate stress and relax without alcohol, old coping patterns can resurface quickly.

Relapse is information — not a verdict.

Growth Mindset is what I kept forgetting to say.
