The box size depends on the box, and the relapse-free recovery depends entirely on the addict. When a person fully commits (and I mean completely and whole-heartedly with no reservations whatsoever) to the idea that sobriety is better than their drug of choice, the percentage of addicts that don’t relapse goes skyrocketing. You couldn't be more right. It really is dependent on the addict. It's almost unfair to make a statistic out of it because yes I am sure people will relapse before they are able to fully recover and some may never recover...but if I'm trying to recover from an addiction and I read something that says that I am more than likely going to relapse, then it's almost like why try? I think statistics can be a dangerous thing to have. And a lot of them generally aren't accurate. What percentage of addicts relapse is like asking how big is a box?
