10. "Just one time?" If you're an alcoholic, like me, "just once" is never enough

I learned that a long time ago when I intended to have one small glass of wine after work - and pretty soon it was half the bottle. I'll have 14 years sober at the end of the month, still go to meetings because I can never forget. In that time I've seen too many people who thought they could just have one and were off to the races - again. Don't give into temptation, remember all you've been through - and accomplished. And remember that one - or a few - is never enough for us alcoholics.
