ok.co.uk:

James ‘Arg’ Argent has admitted that having “one more drink” could kill him after he recently suffered a “very bad relapse”.The former TOWIE star hit the headlines last week when it was revealed an ambulance had to be called to his home and he had been forced to return to rehab.The 34 year old headed to a daily rehabilitation unit after hitting a “blip” in his recovery when he indulged in his first alcoholic drink after being clean and sober for two years. “I can glamorise partying but in reality it’s never going to be fun for me as I’m an addict so it’ll never be just one or two drinks – that will lead me to hospital or death,” he told The Sun. “If I have a drink it affects my friends, family, career, relationships, I can’t function the next day, I let people down, I am selfish and I lie to people – there are so many consequences if I just have one drink.” Get exclusive celebrity stories and fabulous photoshoots straight to your inbox with OK!'s daily newsletter .

Arg continued: “I had a very bad relapse after having some cravings for a while, but instead of ringing my therapist I had a drink for the first time in two years. “Addicts always say one drink is never enough – if it was, I wouldn’t be an addict – but unfortunately it just escalated from there.” He continued: “I went to a comedy night with some friends in Bethnal Green, London – it was great fun, everyone was laughing, drinking and having a good time.

I was having cravings again and when we went onto the afterparty in Essex I bought a round of drinks for my friends - unfortunately I gave in to temptation and had that first drink.” The star, who is starring in E4’s new reality show The Real Dirty Dancing, went on to explain that his friends called an ambulance.
