Analyzing questions that are on a scale of "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree"

I'm worried that I made a terrible error. Usually when I make surveys, I do questions that answer on a sliding likert scale of 1-5, so that I can get numerical averages from my score. But for this particular survey, I accidentally did questions on a scale of:
Strongly Disagree - Disagree- Neither Disagree or Agree - Agree - Strongly Agree
Is there a way I can easily assign scale 1-5 numbers to these when I do my analysis or do I have to do that manually? Is there a better way to analyze Strongly Disagree- Strongly Agree questions?
