I am a never again type of person. It's easier to just accept it and move on rather than dragging it out, for me.
It's easier to just push it out of my mind and say "I dont drink, EVER" than to tell myself "maybe not forever, just today".

I'm a never again person too. (Maybe a symptom of having a hard time living in the present?) "One day at a time" just feels noncommittal to me.
Hypothetically, in a weak moment, I might go day-to-day or hour-to-hour, but I would prefer to prevent those moments from occurring at all through reaching out to other people before I even get that inkling. Not that I don't ever feel weak, but I don't want to feel so weak that I'm watching the clock.

one day at a time. Not that I think about it daily or even weekly but I dont like to use never. You never know. But yea, my intention is to never drink again but sometimes I consider having a beer or glass of wine, or even decide I will sometime in the future. I never do though or at least never have yet.

I'm all or nothing in everything I do. Always have been. See no reason to go against my nature in this so I'm in the never again forever camp
But as we can only exist in the now. I also never drink Now
