A slip is a slip is a slip... I don't know if you're downplaying the drama or if it actually wasn't too bad. If it wasn't, then that is a good thing in itself. Usually whenever I relapse after a really long time, I feel numb and don't feel anything but I still completely understand what you mean.

As for your friend, that's on her. Even if you hadn't helped her through, she should still be saying *something* to you. Maybe she doesn't really know how to react since you were her rock not too long ago and she doesn't know what to do when it's the other way around?
