Don't quit trying, I found myself in the same boat a while ago. I like this quote by Theodore Roosevelt, reminds me it is better to try and then relapse than to just keep drinking f and let alcoholism win:
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

The past is the past. It sounds cliché, but the only thing you can do is focus on the "now". We can't change the past, or stress about the future. Get back on the wagon and start it again! So what if you have a sobriety date change. Who really cares? The only important thing is that you are a non-drinker as of right now. It doesn't matter if you got hammered last night, or if you last drank 5 years ago. If you're a non-drinker at this moment, then you're a non-drinker.
