528: Why do YOUNG people relapse, after years of sobriety?
About this episode
Family Reconnect Waitlist: https://www.realrecoverytalk.com/frc
In this episode, Tom and Steve react to Chrissy Teigen's recent announcement that she started drinking again after a period of sobriety. This sparks a bigger conversation: why do people relapse — even when life looks "good" on the outside? We break down some of the most common reasons people pick up again, including emotional triggers, social pressure, unresolved trauma, and lack of support.
Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode is a real look at what can lead someone back to the bottle — and how to prevent it.
