James 1:14 But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desires.
While in recovery addicts react like any other person. But, the first drink or drug sets a terrible cycle in motion. Most of us have no idea why we take the first drink or drug. Some have excuses with which they are satisfied, but in their hearts, they really do not know why they do it. (The Big Book of A.A.) An indefinable something' causes disappointing relapse. Often this stimulates further recovery action, but sometimes leads to giving up.
When driven by desire and relapsing it is important for us all to remember 'perseverance is getting up one more time than you fall down'.
