tl;dr: You're not relapsing, you're setting a bold example through personal sacrifice. People feed off strength. People feed off examples that they can intimately identify because they've been there or are simultaneously going through the same struggles. Thanks, for the support (even if that wasn't your intention).
Source: My brother and I feed off our positive resolve (when battling opiate addiction) more than focusing on the supposed negatives. We never say, "Well, you're so weak for such and such." We ALWAYS say, "Damn man, you came back from 'THAT'?!?! So, can I (because I know you're a strong person too). I'm proud of you"
