(07:00) Relapse - does it have to be part of recovery?
(09:00) “Playing the tape forward,” the technique that helps you see consequences before using
(11:00) Getting sober for yourself first (not just for your kids or partner)
(13:00) The thousand-pound phone, recognizing triggers, and reaching out
