Ashley, a slip or relapse is only that and nothing more. One bad day or not even that - a few bad hours in one day. Tomorrow, you start again with a fresh sunrise and fresh resolve and do your best. That's all anyton ever can do.

I think you may need to "nag" that social worker a bit. Sometimes it's true that "the squeaky wheel gets the grease".
