That feeling of being 'restless, irritable, and discontent' is a flashing red light warning you about a potential 'slip,' so don't ignore it. It means you're operating on 'self-will run riot' and need to immediately get 'into the steps.' Call your 'sponsor' before you isolate or start rationalizing 'old behavior.' The 'disease' thrives in the dark, so bring your fears and temptations into the 'rooms' and share them—that's how you disarm the 'inner addict.' Remember the acronym H.A.L.T.: you're probably Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired, and you need self-care, not a fix.
