Proper intro
My first thread ended in me being too drunk to type, so I think it's better to leave that behind and start over fresh. I slept all day on day 1, so I have the interesting experience of waking up on day 2. 
I was a member here before and got off to a good start staying sober. But I slipped. It was the stupid "Just one more time" excuse. I had been checked out by a doctor and remarkably, all my years of drinking didn't cause any damage. I'm perfectly healthy. So well, one more binge would be ok, right? Nope. I regret it a lot.
So, I'm back. I've learned a lot during the first try, so now I know to be more cautious.

So now it's day 2. And you have been down the relapse road and so you know about that. You have learned. And you are in one piece. Everything is looking good now. I heard this quip: If you want to know what happens to the people that stop showing up, stop showing up. lol
It takes a lot to keep our minds focused. It's time intensive and there's nothing like being involved with others on the same mission. We must dedicate our minds to this thing, and we need the "power infusion" of mingling with our "kind" -- those on the road to recovery.

Welcome back, some don't make it.
I've thought one more binge would be all right many times. The results were always the same, regret, anxiety and remorse. This went on for years. I could never have a few.
I'm an alcoholic and I can never safely drink.
I'm glad you've learned something from your last one. All I ever learned was that if I didn't drink for a few days I must be cured and the cycle would start all over.
Best to you in your sobreity. And remember, you never have to drink again.
