What has helped me to get back on the wagon, when I was feeling totally hopeless about my odds due to the amount of times I had drank again after swearing I never would, was to embrace the mindset that the past or present doesn't really exist. the only thing that exists is the very present. Right now. yes, I guess it sounds sort of acid-trippy, but the future and past are really irrelevant. Don't focus on anything but right now. Right now, you know why you don't want to drink. It's irrelevant how many times you've fallen off the wagon. Right now, you don't want to drink, and you won't. Right now is all you have, the rest is just in your head.
