My Recovery Road MAP: My Action Plan for Relapse Prevention

In the world of addiction, relapse is common. Between 40% and 60% of individuals' relapse within their first year of treatment, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Relapse is not a sign of failed recovery. Recovery from addiction requires a U-turn, a 180 degree change in lifestyle and behavior. Recovery doesn't happen overnight. The Recovery Road is a long distance trip and to navigate the trip you need a map.

For a recovery road that is based on a relationship with Jesus Christ and guided by the Bible, My Recovery Road MAP Workbook and Worksheets is your guide to write your own relapse prevention plan, My Action Plan (MAP).

Where do you begin? My Recovery Road MAP helps you:

• Understand how addiction physically affects the brain
• Realize that relapse occurs in 3 stages
• Identify unhealthy emotions and negative self-talk
• Recognize your personal triggers and cravings
• Know how to write your own MAP by capturing, recognizing, challenging, replacing unhealthy emotions, triggers and cravings with your action plan
• Incorporating Lectio Divina (prayer and meditation) along with coping strategies into your relapse prevention MAP

The Recovery Road is about Hope and hope isn't a one-time thing, hope comes from above and it grows over time, it is a process. Romans 15:13(NLT) Paul says this about hope "I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in Him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit."
