Log the slip honestly, without judgement — it is data, not failure.
relapse reflection log
Relapse Reflection Log
A Markdown log for turning a slip into useful information — what happened, what triggered it, how you felt, and what you will do differently next time.
How to use it
Plan it, track it, recover from slips
Name the trigger and the emotion that came with it.
Choose one small change to try, then get back to the streak.
Isn’t logging a relapse discouraging?
The opposite. People who treat a slip as information — not a verdict — are the ones who keep going. Writing it down defuses the guilt that makes people quit for good.
How often should I use this?
Only when a slip happens. A minute of honest reflection turns a bad moment into a pattern you can actually change.
How does GiveUp handle relapses?
Instead of resetting your streak to zero, GiveUp lets you log a slip that freezes or gently rewinds it — so one bad day never erases months of progress.
