relapsed and i’m scared
I have had an addiction since i was a child and continued on for a long time, slowly through little relapses here and there i had thought i had stopped having an addiction. I had entered a relationship and i had been okay for about a year until one day i relapsed after a long time of being sober. This had happened in December but im scared that the thought of relapsing would come in my mind again and need some tips on preventing relapses, thank you!

It sounds like you've done a lot of hard work for recovery and now you have a lot of worry about relapsing again. May I ask what helped you stop the relapses before?
The fact that you are worried about relapsing makes me think that you realize you may need to take extra caution or be careful for one reason or another. What have you done in the past to help you so that you've not relapsed when it's been a struggle?
I can't give any advice on what to do, but with you having successfully come back from relapses and having had much time without turning to your addiction, it sounds like you have some great coping skills and abilities to use as strengths to help you get through this difficult time of fear or worry.
