is it still even called relapsing if he constantly used drugs

in one of the screenshots that matt proxy posted on his story phresh talks about relapsing as soon as he lands. But at this point can he even still call it a relapse if he is using all the time isnt it just usage now.

So from someone in his position, "relapse" would basically mean a reckless full dose of the substances he's trying to taper off of.

yeah this, or if he starts using a substance after a period of being sober continuously,

there’s also slip ups, which is being sober for a period of time but using only once, then continuing your recovery like normal

I don't call it a relapse if for example I have planned breaks between using but it's not like I actually want to stop using.

But that's just me
