What's a relapse?

Just wondering what the general opinion is on relapse? What is it? How much does it take to relapse?

Not that I have had any substances lately. I'm just curious. I've seen some people who said they relapsed when they went out one night and had a beer. I've seen others classify that as a "bad night" but not a relapse-- they seem to think a relapse involves falling back into your old habits.

Since I *quit* I've had a couple nights when I've used, but I got back on track the next day... there was no dramatic Hallmark moment where I was found in a dumpster. I just woke up and thought, "Yup, that was stupid. You can do better."

So, kiddies, what constitutes a relapse? Or does it matter to you?
