I wish I could add some words of wisdom on how to stay sober, but perhaps something encouraging none the less.
Just because you have a slip, it doesn't have to be a full blown relapse. Pick yourself up, dust off, and get right back up there and don't beat yourself up. It happens to all of us and the best of us. Not necessarily relapsing, but at some effort in life.
From a friend when I was in rehab a couple years ago: "It's easier to stay sober than to get sober."
Also at rehab heard at a meeting: If you're tired of starting over, quite fucking up!"
