Do relapses get more difficult to overcome?
I was wondering, for people who have had many failed attempts at staying sober permanently, whether you feel that with each "failed" attempt (i.e., with each relapse), it gets more and more difficult to get back on the wagon and stay sober permanently?
I am using this as one of the reasons for avoiding relapse, as I keep telling myself that it will only be harder next time. What is the reasoning behind this? Is it because we are frustrated over yet another setback? I'm curious about what people think about this.
