“I bought a 12-pack of seltzers as a treat.”

I bought seltzers as a diet 'treat' which led to a 3-day bender. I missed work at a job I prayed for and had to keep drinking to avoid the hangover.
What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew that it would not be 'different this time' and one drink would spiral out of control."
