I'll tell you when it comes to drinking you have to look at each time you accidently drink while quitting as simply a mistake and be ok with it. Because when I thought in absolutes I'd drink one time and sinse that ruined my streak I would drink hard every weekend for a long time before doing it again.
So you have to be ok with making mistakes. Which in all likelihood is half of the reason your drinking anyways. A life of mistakes adds up in your head and you run around with anxiety so you try to drink it away.
Anyways.. learning to tolerate your mistakes is the best thing to do.
And swap it out for less damaging things like video games or coffee or whatever works too.
It's all about the dopamine. Every mistake takes some away and booze makes it feel better. Gotta get a new source.
