We had a great night at Celebrate Recovery this week as we talked about RELAPSE — not just how relapse happens, but how we can recognize the drift before it carries us further than we wanted to go.
Several people shared that there was a lot of content to take in, so I put together a simple handout with the main teaching points, Scripture references, and practical reminders from the lesson.
The handout covers:
* How relapse often begins before the visible fall
* Why renewing our minds with God’s Word matters
* The RELAPSE acrostic from the lesson
* What to do if we stumble
* Why shame tells us to hide, but grace calls us home

Recovery is not about living scared.
It is about living awake — noticing the drift, bringing it honestly to God, and staying connected before old patterns pull us back.
You’re not alone, and we’re grateful to walk this road together.
