Choosing to get sober is an important decision in the life of an addict or an alcoholic, but getting through detoxification and initial treatment is only the first step of the journey. You have to remain vigilant — staying sober requires commitment and dedication. There is always a risk of relapse. Based on experience working with those who have relapsed in their recovery, below are some of the most common causes and reasons for relapse.

• Mood swings
• Lack of stability in the family
• Conflicts in relationships
• Lack of productive work
• Major changes in life
• Social pressures to use
• H.A.L.T. ie being hungry, angry, lonely or tired.
• Underlying psychiatric ailments
