Hi Nalanda,
I don't do AA myself, but "one day at a time" does seem to work for many folks: it has for me. There's just something about "never again" that - I don't know - puts me in an offensive state of mind: "yeah, we'll see about that!" Or even worse, "hmmm, how can I sneak around THAT rule?"
A civilization wasn't created in one big sweep, and I don't know if sobriety can be either - OR confidence. If you are interested there is a 24 Connectivity thread where we commit to sobriety for 24 hours, and we do this in the company of others. This is a profound experience for me; I can feel the strength and support of the other posters. We are all doing it together.
Welcome to SR. I hope you keep posting
