I agree, too, Paulie.

And, yes...we've had several threads here at SR where we have talked about this topic. Using is using. Relapse is never by accident, so the term "slip" is just BS to make the relapse sound like it wasn't that bad - to minimize or justify. In NA we don't use the term slip. We dig deeper than that surface crap.

Yeah...relapse can/and does happen. But NA teaches us that recovery stops before the relapse, so how in the heck can relapse be a part of recovery? Relapse is a "part" of active addiction and that surely isn't recovery.
