Thanks for the response, Ree. I am taking the two steps forward, three steps back trip right now, but I guess I need to just recognize that it will happen, and be prepared to deal with it when it does. I think that one of the things that happened is that I am really, really busy at work, so I don't have any time to relax or unwind and I am overtired. Being stressed like that seems to be an invitation for relapse. So I have to just guard myself against that in the future.
