Yes – this is a danger that you must be aware of. One drink at a party is a slip, but if you consciously decide to continue drinking over the next several days, you are relapsing. Look out for patterns of behaviour: you might decide that you are “ready” to have a drink every Friday night, for example, but this return to old habits can be the start of a relapse.
Can a slip turn into a relapse?
