In this excerpt from the "Pod: R" podcast, Speaker A challenges the notion that relapse is solely an individual's responsibility. They argue that recovery is a collective effort that requires a supportive network of friends, family, colleagues, and coaches. Drawing on personal experience, the speaker describes detoxing at home with the assistance of a close group of people, emphasizing how such support helped them exit the isolation of addiction and build a sustainable life. Acknowledging that not everyone has immediate access to such a network, the speaker suggests that it can be intentionally created through coaching, which focuses on identifying and connecting with people who genuinely care and can aid the recovery process.

Therefore, you're also responsible for your own relapse. And I think there is—it doesn't work. It doesn't work for me, and we need to change this because I think it's a collective thing. I think people around you, be it friends, colleagues, family, your support system needs to be aware of what you're going through in order for you to come out of this bubble fast, and in order for you to set up a life again that is sustainable. I have the luck that I have a very tight. A group of people around me that helped me in my recovery. I detoxed at home with their, their help, their assistance, and they were there. I totally understand that this is not something that everybody has. I think we can create it though. I think you can find people that are actually good for you and that care about you and that want to help you recover. And to look for that and to look for those places and people is something that we do in during the coaching.
