Don,t drink any more and start tomorrow fresh . You didn't slip you DECIDED to drink as a reward ,
When I ever had a period of sobriety then picked up it was MY CHOICE not a slip . We need to be honest and be accountable for our actions .

You haven't really failed as such because you would have learned valuable lessons from drinking again. Hopefully you managed to get through the day in one peace. Put what has happened down to experience and have a cold chicken sandwich.
It happens , if it wasn’t so hard this place wouldn’t exist - don’t beat yourself up about it
Tip it all down sink , learn a lesson and start again
Obviously you want this as you would not have posted so that is a positive !

I've never been a big advocate of counting days of sobriety. To be honest I know my sobriety date, but as addicts we tend to be very hard on ourselves. This inevitably leads to self-loathing... need I say more.
We' kre in recovery, an ongoing process. If a few beers feels like failure than you have learned two things, 1) You are very hard on yourself (that's natural), and 2) you have your mind set on sobriety. Sounds like there was some positive that came out of today's "failure" aka "a needed reminder."
