Undermining our success by cheating or simply not controlling old bad habits?

When we cheat (and we all do at various times in our recoveries) are we trying to undermine our success (whether consciously or sub-consciously) or are we merely losing a battle with our omnipresent food demons? This question came up at a support group I was moderating; my gut feeling is that slip-ups are just a sign that the food demons lurk close below the surface but a friend disagreed. I'd appreciate your insight on this question. Thanks.
