Yes that would truly suck. Recovery is nothing like that. I went through periods when every other day I vowed abstinence, only to be drunk the next hour.
One of my awakenings that has kept me sober for some time now, is that when I reach out to help another alcoholic/addict I invariably stay sober for that day.
If I come to the table always wanting I will leave wanting. When I come to the table with something to give I leave giving. It's the crux of the program that guarantees recovery and well-being.
But it must start by putting down the bottle.
