Geoff Thompson shares a series of videos called 'Four Reasons for Relapse'. In this fourth and final installment, Geoff discusses the possible fears surrounding responsibility. For many in early recovery expectations can feel overwhelming. To be responsible can be a chore, but responsibility is more than just being accountable to others. It's more about taking control of your life.

Hi Dr.
Could you please recommend a good book that talks about this subject of relapse due to fear of taking responsibility? Thank you 🙏

Hello @karens1156,
The only book I can think of, which addresses many issues of addiction and responsibility, is the philosopher Francis Seeburger's Addiction and Responsibility: An Inquiry into the Addictive Mind. I can't recall if it talks specifically about relapse as a fear of taking responsibility, but it would certainly address it indirectly.
