One day at a time. Today your daughter is doing well. Celebrate today and the happiness you feel.
Stay in the day and don't worry abt. tomorrow. Fear doubt & worry are not productive uses of our time or energy.
We all can make progress w/o perfection.

So great that your daughter is in recovery.
My 24 yr. old son is too. He has been at a rehab for 5 months. He has relapsed two times.
But he is still there, still working hard at sobriety, still making progress and understands that he is an addict/alcoholic. It is not easy, but our kids are trying. There is a lot of emotional work to do + depression and cravings to deal with.
Change is not easy and takes time. I admire them for taking this step. Yea for them.
