Slipping in recovery may feel small in the moment but heavy the next day. Any mind-altering substance resets the clock, and hiding it only fuels shame—honesty, taking a 24-hour chip, and leaning on your community keeps you grounded.

Truth lifts the weight of shame, restores integrity, and mobilizes support. For parents, open conversation, clear boundaries, and safety measures help teens ask for help early and learn accountability without fear.

Recovery works moment by moment: cravings are like an allergy, and consistent meetings, sponsorship, step work, and service quiet obsession over time. If you slip, tell someone safe, take a chip, call your sponsor, and recommit to daily practices—recovery restarts in the present.
