'おかげで' is used for positive results (like being lucky), so it's inappropriate here.\n❌ からには: If you use this, it sounds like a weird determination: 'Since I forgot it, I'm never flying again!' haha. Remember to use '〜ばかりに' when expressing strong regret!\n❌ ことだから: This is used when guessing based on someone else's personality ('Knowing him...'). For your own mistakes, '〜ばかりに' perfectly captures that feeling of regret!
