progress/compulsions

A slip up is a way to know what not to do next time. Your awareness is good that’s how you know work isn’t gone because you acknowledged it now the step is to not do that compulsion next time and remember if you give into one for a minute or five minutes or more you can always STOP and walk away.

I think it is good to accept the possibility of slipping up or even getting to the older states because then there is no pressure on yourself. Trying too hard creates resistence and therefore generates more problem. Just accept it as a journey that is one step back two steps forward. Also once you've gotten to this level, you know you can get there again.:)
