Sometimes we need to make it 15 minutes at a time. We cannot get to that better place without passing through where we are now. We can go forward or backward.
Going backward to drinking only made my drinking worse each time and my attempted recoveries that much harder! The lesson is straightforward: alcohol is an addictive poison; even just one drink retriggers our cravings, desires, compulsions and messes drastically with our brain, such that under the influence of the poison, we think its gonna be OK to have "just a few"! We must avoid the first dose of poison!
