I would also like to cosign the approach of recovery as a permanent solution rather than a day to day process. When I started my current sobriety after a couple of failed attempts I really wanted to drill it into my head that this was a lifelong commitment and to not leave even the slightest bit of latitude:

That means not cheating "just a little bit" from sobriety to have a glass of champagne for New Year's.

That means not joining a toast for a wedding or celebration with an alcoholic beverage in hand.

That means not drinking at a Super Bowl party or office party even if others are being pushy.

Done means D-O-N-E.

For me personally I found that sobriety has gone much easier this time around now that I've adopted this mentality.
