I am all over the map on this one. Some random thoughts for your consideration:
I don't like the term slip. It's too soft a word. BS. You drank. Own it.
I don't think the term relapse is accurate for everyone either. There is a difference between one drinking event and a multi day drunken bender.
To me the issue I have with some AA members is that they do tend to paint a horror show picture for those who drink again. It is certainly possible but not an accurate assessment of the situation for everyone. I personally will respond best to someone who states that another drink is not a positive event and should be avoided.
And to wrap up my post here's my AA "robot" quote. Pull my string...
To thine own self be true.
Have a great day everyone!
