I agree with Almost. Don't try to tell him anything about what he is going through. I too know from experience that it will backfire in your face quicker than anything.
But you really have to let yourself off of the hook for the backslide. Just start from now and go back to what you were doing. We have all been there.
"Acceptance doesn't mean resignation. It means understanding that something is what it is and there's got to be a way through it."--Michael J. Fox
