For you and most people, Atkins bars aren't cheating. How can you know that for yourself?
There. That's how you know that for yourself.

Last night I went out to dinner to celebrate an event for my daughter and and loaded up on breadsticks..... How bad did I mess my system up?

No more than you had for the previous 20, 30, 40 years. Moreover since your body was all carbed out, even four bread sticks won't affect your weekly averages all that much. Just keep on keeping on and make note of where you were mentally when you decided to reach for that first bread stick and then the second. Perhaps it was a sense of loss over not meeting your own standards rather than anything physically that caused you to go for the second bread stick. Maybe you got bad advice about Atkins bars being a form of cheating and you thought, "Well since I'm already cheating with Atkins bars...." Maybe it was just food boredom. Maybe it was wanting to fit in. Whatever.
