I had to say never again. anytime I did one day at a time the crack of possibility led to drinking again.
Sadly, I seem to be the same with sugar. I'm still desperately trying to work it in, but it's working about as well as moderating booze did.
anyway I don't propose to have the answer for all. Everyone is different. some people manage to stay sober one day at a time, for me each day id just be planning to drink and keeping the obsession alive.
