The correction

Not willpower-based abstinence.

Noise-floor reduction during acute withdrawal, supported at the floor. Pain relief. Presence. The structure supplying what the architecture cannot supply alone. Condemnation in this phase narrows the corridor further.

New stabilising records, written by the person. As the noise floor drops, alternatives register again. The writing is the person’s work. The conditions for it — therapy, groups, medication-assisted treatment, a changed environment, people — are the structure’s.

Attention to the underlying record set. The pathway became lowest-cost because the person’s history made it so. Trauma. Pain. Isolation. Deprivation. The floor never supplied. Recovery that ignores this is recovery the conditions will resist.

Relapse is not moral failure. It is the predictable consequence of a corridor narrowed faster than it can be widened. Re-widening is slower than narrowing was. The response is continued support at the floor and continued attention to what the pathway was answering.
