In this episode of Thanks for Sharing, Jackie Pack breaks down the myths around relapse in recovery. Rather than seeing relapse as failure, Jackie explains how it reveals when the addictive system is pulling you back—and how the renewal cycle offers a way forward.

You’ll hear why relapse can become a powerful teacher, how resilience and empowered thinking can shift the narrative, and why leaning into community support is essential for lasting change. This episode invites you to reframe relapse as not the end of recovery, but as a chance to grow, reset, and deepen your commitment to healing.

 If you’ve ever felt discouraged by relapse—or worried about it—this conversation is for you. Tune in now, and let’s explore how recovery can become stronger than the setback.
