I also made a too big of a commitment. I quit beer, smoking and became vegan, which in turn did ill on my migraines. I'll try to deal just with the alcohol this time.
I confused abstinence with control many times too.

No one here can make you do anything

If you think your plan is solid and you just went off the plan, that's your call.

But at the very least I'd think about what made you want to drink again, and I'd think about the scenario where you think it possible to drink again and control it... and what you'll do in response to that next time
