Abstinence Coaching

Why People Relapse

Why people relapse

Don't be naive or short-change yourself about the power addictions have in your life. Without constant vigilance and accountability, the slope is very slippery and relapse is inevitable. There is much more to abstinence than just not engaging in your bad habits. Relapse is usually caused by naiveté regarding the power these well-established habits and behaviors have in your life. ...seemingly harmless routines in your life can actually promote your addictions. Equally important is the fact that your bad habits don't happen independently of other parts of your life; they are interwoven to the point that other seemingly harmless routines in your life can actually "feed" and promote your addictions.

When you participate in on-going Abstinence Coaching, your probability of relapse decreases and successful abstinence increases. Dr. Kern helps you see "the bigger picture" and make important tweaks and changes that help discourage your old habits. These accomplishments don't happen overnight, but with the ongoing support of Abstinence Coaching, you can create the life you've always wanted.
