earthmama,

They kept telling us in treatment that the important thing with slips is to stop them immediately, call in, and get right back with the program. Don't beat yourself up over a mistake - we all make them and alcohol is a tough disease to beat. You still have your sober time to be proud of and prove that you can do it.

My advice, call your sponsor if you have one, get to a meeting and pick up a desire chip.

Try to learn from this slip - what led up to it, how you were feeling, so the next time you find yourself feeling the same way, you'll have a plan.

Take care.
