If you read on you will read that most of us have relapsed more than once. We all try. It’s not logical to think that you can give up years of behavior in one try. If you went 7 days without drinking then that is 7 days you didn’t drink! I have relapsed many times but if I go 7 days without gambling that is 7 days that I didn’t. Then I try for 10. Soon it will get easier and each time I fail I hope that I gain a little more resolve not to do it again. Sleep it off and try to replan the next week so that it does not happen again.
