   Which response by the nurse would be most appropriate?
  A) Relapse is a normal part of recovery; you can learn from this experience so it will be easier to avoid it or a similar one in the future.
  B) Face it, you will always be an alcoholic, and relapse is inevitable because it is part of the illness.
