The FASTER Scale is a great tool used in the Tacoma Rescue Mission’s New Life Program to help people in drug recovery understand when they are making decisions and choices that will lead them into relapse. Unfortunately, too many people in recovery get caught up in the craziness and chaos of their life and fail to notice when they are sliding back into old habits and getting ready to jump back into their addiction. If you have someone you love who is in recovery, but you are beginning to wonder how things are going and if they are likely to begin to use again, click on the above link and study each step of the FASTER Scale to read and understand the clues. Just knowing the steps doesn’t mean you can stop someone from relapsing, but it is a helpful tool to show someone. Make sure you pass this link onto other sponsors and friends. FYI, the Tacoma Rescue Mission has a free drug rehab program for those who need a total life transformation. click here for more info, or just call 383-4462 and ask to speak to Marty or Les. DC
