Brief Answer:
Be kind to yourself

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

I understand what you're going through, but I also commend you for your determination and will-power and for being sober for five months. This is a difficult and tricky road, there are occasional pitfalls but you will eventually succeed.

Please do not be harsh on yourself and do not beat yourself down. Get back up on your feet and try again and you will make it to the other side.

I hope this helps.
If you need advice or have questions, I'd be glad to be of help.

Wishing you the best of health.
All the best.
