And What The Best Next Step Is
Addiction is one of the hardest battles a person can face. Many individuals and families have experienced the frustration of seeing a loved one struggle with substance abuse again and again. You may have taken multiple trips to rehabilitation centres, spent months in therapy and yet, the cycle seems unbreakable. At first, it is easy to think that this is simply a personal weakness or lack of willpower.
But when addiction keeps coming back despite all efforts, there often lies a deeper explanation beyond the physical or psychological reasons we are usually told to expect.
Take the story of David from Kampala. David had been struggling with alcohol and drug addiction for more than five years. He was admitted to rehabilitation centres multiple times. Each time, he promised to change, stayed clean for a while, then relapsed. Family and friends became frustrated, and David began to feel hopeless. He could not understand why he kept falling back, no matter how determined he was.
Many people in his circle labelled it as “failure”, but David felt something else was at play a force he could not see.
Hidden Factors That Make Recovery Hard
Repeated relapse often speaks to more than just a weak will. Some of the forces that keep a person trapped include:
- Environment & Relationships: Constant exposure to people who use drugs, unresolved conflict in the home, or a community where substance use is normal can pull someone back into old habits.
- Emotional & Trauma: Many people who struggle with addiction carry unhealed wounds trauma, disappointment, inner pain that fuel the desire to use again. Traditional rehab centres may address the physical and mental aspects, but not always the deeper emotional or spiritual blocks.
- Spiritual/Energetic Blockages: In some cases, repeated relapse can be a signal that there are deeper forces at work negative energy, spiritual inheritance, unresolved family/ancestral issues that make recovery tough to sustain.
Why Conventional Rehabilitation Sometimes Isn’t Enough
If you have been in rehab multiple times and still find yourself returning to substance use, it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It often means that one layer of the problem has been addressed (the physical/mental), but another layer (emotional, relational, spiritual) remains unaddressed. Without tackling the full picture, relapse becomes more likely.
