Charlie - how would you treat someone else who had a slip up and drank? Would you beat them up? I'm pretty confident you'd treat them with kindness, compassion, respect and understanding for what they were going through while giving them encouragement to pick up and keep going. It's unhealthy to believe that you should beat yourself up. Approach yourself the same way you would someone else in the same situation. Treating yourself with dignity and respect doesn't need to minimize the seriousness of sobriety.
