Hello, I’m 28 years old and I’ve been struggling with something lately. What if I relapse after completing treatment? I worked really hard to finish my program, but I’m scared about the possibility of slipping back and what that might mean for my recovery.

Relapse is really common in recovery, so it does not mean treatment “failed” or that you can’t get better.
If it happens, the best thing is to be honest about it, tell your counselor or doctor, and get back into some kind of support quickly.
Sometimes that means going back to rehab, and sometimes it just means adjusting meds, going to more meetings, or changing your triggers and routine.
