I went from 2 1/2 years clean and sober back down to 45 days. A little slip for 4 days but I'm back on track and staying positive. I don't know if y'all believe in re doing your clean date, but being that it was a relapse do I change the date or stay with the original clean date?
Hi Randy, I think that is a choice that you have to make. Many would say you have to start your date over, I believe our recovery is our own and we shape it into what we want. So maybe sit and meditate on it and do what sits best with you.
My thought is that even though is was a short relapse I have to start over. I did change my clean date and as tough as it is it will just make me work harder to get back.
That makes sense. I think that’s what I would do too. The key thing is to focus on your goal of staying clean and sober and not to dwell on your lapse. Good luck! You got this!
I'm definitely not dwelling on the lapse. My goals are in order and I just have to push through the hard stuff. I'll be back soon enough.

A relapse doesn't define who we are. You will know the date so you might as well reset it. Im 4 months sober from my last first day.
Just pick up the pieces and move on. Best of luck
