First remember that 50 days is huge, but not huge enough. You're still in the mode where the addiction is trying to give you *any* excuse to go back.
Then try not to be too hard on yourself. Much easier said than done for us low self esteem depressives, but not impossible.
Remember that you never "have control" over it. Thinking we do is the first step towards letting our guard down - and relapsing.
And try to help others with less time. Maybe you don't have enough time to be a sponsor, but you can surely help make the newbies at meetings feel more comfortable. And you can support people here.
Sobriety is like tutoring - the more you help someone else the more you understand the topic yourself.
