I was sober 4 months and the other day drank way too much at a going away gathering. I feel like an idiot and I’m depressed. I hate that I did this to myself again. I’m still hungover 2 days later.

No what kind of question is this
You're not an idiot; you're here talking to us sober folks because you still want to be sober! That makes you wise in my book.
Beating yourself up doesn't actually do much besides making you sad and vulnerable to further slips. It's important to forgive yourself and treat it as a learning experience. Try shifting from shame and blame to curiosity and reflection: how did you feel? We're you sad, frustrated, etc? Are there certain environments or people that are triggering for you?

Get up, get a shower, put yourself together. Go out, get some breakfast or lunch, by yourself. Take a book if you don't wanna feel awkward. Relax. Enjoy you're own company. Reflect on how you feel and what you did. It's okay, you're alive. Hopefully no other bad decisions were made during. It'll be okay. You're disappointed in yourself, it happens. Come up with a better game plan. Don't trip on it, it'll be okay.

We can only blame ourselves for the first drink.
The setback is the setup for the comeback!

Just keep trying to be sober I recently relapsed too, but I’m back to being sober. Just try and find people who like you sober and you won’t feel the pressure to drink. Sorry to hear about your hangover, try and stay positive, I let a bad day turn to a month of drinking I don’t want this to happen to you. I’m trying to engage with other sober people and I’m beginning to realize being sober is cool it shows that you care enough about yourself to do whats good for you.
