I Drank Again:The Brutal Truth About Relapsing.
Q: How has EMDR therapy helped you heal, and what makes it different from other therapies you tried?

I Drank Again:The Brutal Truth About Relapsing.

I Drank Again:The Brutal Truth About Relapsing.
Q: Can you take me into what happened during the relapse and how you felt in the immediate aftermath?
Del describes how stress from personal loss and years of combatting trauma lowered his defenses, leading to a slip where he drank several glasses of wine, followed by deep shame and a commitment to reset his sobriety with support from his wife and therapy.
I Blew a .40 Blood Alcohol Level — How I Quit Drinking for Good
