The "one last time" got me again. And at this point I feel like giving up. Doing a Nicholas Cage like in that movie.

Glad you survived it DK3. You might feel like giving up, but that's just a line of BS your addiction is trying to feed you. You wouldn't have come back here if you gave up, right?

So what's the plan this time?

Dust yourself off and start again.

Nowsthetime

Learn from it and keep going. What made you take the first sip? How are you going to avoid it next time?

It's a process, don't be discouraged and keep your eye on the prize. We are here to support you!

Leaving Las Vegas - nothing good about that movie. Don't romantacize your demise. You deserve to find happiness.

Why not make today a new day 1?

OCD. Long story.

It might be time to start writing a new story.

It's quite overwhelming how I felt each time I relapsed. Right now I only have 25 days - after having almost 8 months. Very humiliating, discouraging, depressing - I just had to tell myself that I never have to feel that way again. I don't have to have a Day 1 ever again. It's the only thing that got me through those first few weeks. Not that I have so much more time than that now, but the further away I get from day 1 the better I feel and things are definitely improving. Relapsing hurts us spiritually, mentally, and physically. I never want to go back there again. You can do this, just try not to focus on time so much as experience.

I hope you decide to stop drinking today.

I won't quit today. Will tomorrow.
