That's pretty much the textbook description of the problem we all faced at some point. IMHO, the solution needs to be applied in the "racking up time" phase. AKA "having a plan". What that plan is varies as greatly as there are people in the world, but when you "figure its okay to drink again" that's a clear indicator that you either don't have a plan or you aren't following it.

I can't tell you what kind of plan you should make, but I can tell you that insulting other people or making light of their plans/methods should not be part of it. The arrogance others suggest is palpable in your posts as well - and that won't help you in any way either. I understand that many of the methods here in Secular are much more focused on the individual than a group type recovery, but to be quite frank you need to start listening to what others have to say and letting them help you. Your Ego is working against you, not for you.
