I was sober 5 months. Started drinking again, although nowhere near the level i was at when I quit. Do we have to start that count back at zero. I don't want to erase all the progress over a few weeks.

Never forget your moments of sobriety. They remind us that we can do it! Yeah, you got a start over, lol! You can do it!

Yes, I can still smoke a little crack on a Wednesday evening if I want to..... After jeopardy, but in the end, I'd still be sinking crack. Make sense? Justification is just that....plain and simple. A drink is a drink, a drug is a drug and justifying it by the amount, or it's just a little glass of wine w my cheese, or a little heroin for my toothache..... It's all the same.

You didn’t erase all your progress. It’s a relapse - examine it learn from it and keep going. Ask for help, put safe guards in for yourself if you can. Don’t go backward just forward.

Personally, I don’t believe so. Becuase everything we go through, we can grow through it. They turn into sober (life) lessons. Just keep going!
