Commitment Model Dimension
Relapse begins before the act because the system usually yields first in perception, interpretation, standard, end, or commitment long before the public event arrives.
By the time relapse becomes visible, something earlier has usually already failed.
The person stopped telling the truth soon enough. Started reading pressure as exemption. Let relief become the real standard. Let recovery stop functioning as a live end. Began yielding in smaller hidden places.
Seeing relapse this way matters because it gives the person earlier interruption points. The act should not be the first recognized moment of failure.
