Whichever fellowship you are in -- or if you're not, pick one -- the Steps can help with that "relapse mode." Perhaps go to some meetings. If there aren't any near you, try some online. Especially during the holidays if you're feeling down. Congratulations on your baby! Hope all will be well with both of you.
