You're not at all a failure! You've already gone four weeks, and that's a pretty big accomplishment. Slip ups happpen, but that doesn't always mean it's right back to the beginning, to start the whole recovery process over again.

Is there something else you could focus on? Someone you could talk to, or something you could do to distract yourself? Maybe finding something like that could help make the urges go away, or at least not be as bad.

Hope you're doing ok! Just know that you haven't failed :)
*hugs*
