Question Relapse vs Slip

Thanks to Edmundo30...
who got me thinking on what is the difference?

Are they the same?

To me...
a slip is when an alcoholic drinks in early
sobriety
or
when a long time sober alcoholic has a drink.

A relapse is when an alcoholic begins drinking
with the intention of continuing.

JMO...what is yours?
