Dantuation
**Dantuation**
**(noun)**
**Pronunciation:** *dan-too-AY-shun*
**Definition:**
A self‑sabotaging relapse pattern in which a person, after long claiming to be fully recovered from addiction, engages in behavior that gets them fired from their job and immediately returns to active substance use. A *dantuation* often involves a dramatic collapse of the persona of stability the individual has presented to others.
**Connotation:**
The term highlights the painful contradiction between outward confidence and inner struggle, emphasizing how relapse can be triggered by stress, denial, or unresolved issues rather than moral failure.
