In Crisis - Not New to Recovery

If you’re in crisis but not new to recovery, you likely already have tools, awareness, and experience - but something has broken down.

It’s an opportunity to re-engage your recovery with greater honesty, structure, and support. Restoring Hope RCA is a 12 - step, peer-led fellowship designed to help couples reconnect, rebuild trust, and move forward - together.

Build Your Recovery Plan

You’ve done some recovery work - but something has broken down.

This might look like:

  • A relapse, rupture, or breach of trust

  • Old patterns resurfacing

  • Disconnection despite previous progress

This is not starting over. This is returning to the work.

Re-Center Your Recovery:

1. Get Honest - Quickly
Avoid minimizing or delaying truth.
Honesty restores the foundation.

2. Re-Engage Your Program

  • Reconnect with meetings

  • Call your sponsor or accountability partners

  • Return to daily recovery practices

3. Revisit Boundaries & Agreements
What worked before? What needs to change?

  • Strengthen weak areas

  • Clarify expectations

4. Prioritize Couple Check-Ins
Structure matters:

  • Daily or scheduled check-ins

  • Focus on honesty, feelings, and needs - not blame

5. Identify What Slipped
Without shame, ask:

  • Where did structure break down?

  • What warning signs were missed?

Summary

Focus: Reconnect and re-engage

  • Get honest quickly

  • Reconnect with meetings + sponsor

  • Rebuild daily recovery habits

  • Revisit boundaries and agreements

  • Resume structured couple check-ins
