Hi!
I'm in pretty much the same spot! After a 5 year drinking career, I made it 3,5 months sober. Went to a party and relapsed. Then sober a week + relapse. Sober a few days + relapse.
However, I learned A LOT from the last relapses. I didn't get that magic feeling I seem to remember getting from drinking red wine. I felt like I became stupid, slow and just unintelligent from it all.
However, I am really scared of parties. I know I just might... I now believe all the people here who insist that one must find some kind of recovery, not just stop drinking. Also, one must have a strategy and a plan ready before going to events/parties.
