First of all you're are not a loser because you are trying again.
What were you doing to try and stay sober?

Learn from it and keep trying.
Renew your resolve to be successful.
You can do this if you choose to do it.

my advice is always to look at what you've been doing so far to stay sober - then think of what you need to add to it.

Accepting the fact that a drink will always end in a binge for me, sooner or later, was the start of my moving forward and leaving alcohol behind

'a drink ended being a binge'

Yeah, it goes that way for us sooner or later. Is this enough proof, or do you need further experimenting to confirm that it will always eventually go that way for you?

It's a difficult point to learn.

If it was easy there'd be hardly any newcomer posts for new people to ignore before trying it themselves and being very surprised that it was also true for them even though they didn't want it to be.

Good you're back without serious damage done and perhaps a lesson learned.

I'm glad you're back.

Can you figure out why you decided to take the first drink and then make a plan so that it doesn't happen again. Learn and move on.
