Of course you can't. You are sober from the day you last had a drink.

If you choose in your head to count it any different (there's nothing stopping you doing that) then it is just a lie.

Alcohol/alcholism is the big liar. It lies about everything by telling us stuff in our heads which are not true. If you believe the lie that you can still count on from day 22 that means that alcohol has allowed you to drink whenever you want and it will not affect your sobriety date. Alcohol is "cunning, baffling and powerful"
