This weeks episode is a 2 part series. This first episode is for people who are addicts and can't get used to the idea of how to be open and honest with themselves about the real issue. Triggers are not the problem, it's the thing that triggers the real problem that you just have packed away and would rather not deal with. So you mask it instead.

Some people think relapse kicks the door down. It doesn't. It tiptoes in wearing a disguise made of "totally normal" excuses — and by the time you notice, it's already been there for weeks. Doc Jacques on the tell before the tell.

Ever quit your drug of choice and realize it was the only tool in the box? Feelings you haven't met in years are fully caffeinated and ready to rumble. Doc Jacques breaks down real coping skills to replace the ones that were slowly killing you — because luck is not a recovery plan.

Getting sober was supposed to fix everything, right? The family reunites, the credits roll, everybody hugs. Yeah, well — nobody told your wife, your kids, or your brother who hasn't called since Thanksgiving. Turns out recovery doesn't come with a guarantee that the people who survived your addiction will stick around for your sobriety. Today Doc Jacques tackles the uncomfortable truth that sometimes getting clean costs you the very relationships you got clean for — and what you do when the happy ending doesn't show up on schedule.

Congratulations — you stopped using. Now what? Turns out sobriety is just the opening act, and Doc Jacques has some news about the rest of the show. The good news: peace is real and you can get there. The bad news: you actually have to do the work. No shortcuts. He checked. Twice.
