I'm excited for you Ooompa - breaking an obsession is never easy - I'm still breaking mine with food. And like you said one day at a time - when you look back you'll see a week of one days .... then a year of one days.....
sending much encouragement, good vibes - you keep it up!

One day at a time is good enough - but if you struggle with that - then one hour at a time, or one minute at a time is equally good.
Therapy alone is no good at all - for it to have any effect, you have to want to get better. If you don't want to get better, then any therapy is just another quick fix to give you an escape or plaster over your problems - much like the booze. You gotta learn new, healthier coping mechanisms and use them to deal with the real problems.
And if the therapy is working, things will seem worse before they seem better - like cleaning dirt out of an old infected wound - it hurts. Then is the time NOT to give up!
Still I've told you all this before.
I wish you well with your recovery.
