I've heard it in AA and probably have seen it on here too that the "ism" part for them meant incredibly short memory and that certainly was the case for me.

I've had 2 and my brother 5. each and every time we would swear we were done with the drinking. my brother was right the last time when he got the gift of going to prison for 2 yrs. he has been living a very sober and successful life for about 15 yrs now. I was never right because I wouldn't quit until many yrs. later when it started impacting my health.

one day at a time is good. that's how I live my life everyday. but if it were "me" I would try to put together a very solid sobriety/recovery plan while things were still fresh in my mind and before the novelty of it wears off. not saying this is going to happen to you and it may very well not but I have seen it happen so many times. and i'm also not trying to compare you to me or anyone else.

good luck and best wishes
