If you had a slip would you restart your count ? Or would you only restart if you’ve slipped and continued to drink ?

If I’m counting, then I’d restart. In the long run it truly doesn’t matter. Personally, I’d feel funny saying I have xxx of continuous sobriety, if I really have xxy. I have two good friends that have slipped 1 day in the last 2 years. One celebrated a year since his slip, while the other just picked up a white chip last week. They both have 99% sobriety over the last 2 years, but started their count over. They both learned a lot from their slips. That’s probably more important than anything else. That, and being sober today

I actually have been through this, and to be honest, I need to start counting again, because I just keep relapsing. I think it’s part of those keeping sick sick in your secrets just lying to yourself and being in denial but that’s for me.

That’s helpful thank you! And being sober today * I love that part and it’s true ! That’s what matters *
I think you should stack as many days as you can
If I'm counting it is back to day 1 for me. I slipped up on vacation in February a few times and I had to be honest with myself first and foremost if I wanted to move further. Accepting this made it easier to regroup and keep pushing towards my goals.
