In this brief monologue, Dallas Bragg introduces the second element of his "4 Ps of overcoming relapse" framework—Perspective. He argues that sobriety seekers should stop viewing a relapse as a fresh start from day one and instead see it as a stepping stone that can elevate their sobriety journey. By shifting the mindset to celebrate and learn from relapse rather than treating it as a failure, Bragg believes individuals can improve relapse‑prevention outcomes and achieve higher sobriety success rates.

The second P in my 4 Ps of overcoming relapse is perspective. And I wish that we could enter this sobriety journey looking at relapse in a different way. Not as starting over. I see so many people saying, well, I guess I'm starting back over day one. You're not. It's part of your journey. What if you saw relapse as a stepping stone into a different level of sobriety instead of a stumbling block that makes you start your days back at one. It's all in how you view the experience. It's all in how you celebrate the experience. We have to change the way that we perceive relapse if we are going to have more successful sobriety numbers. That's my opinion.
