I definitely want to be able to say "I am clean and sober" and I know I need to be.
It's just that I feel guilty saying "sober" and having people assume that includes "clean" too. However, at the same time, being able to say I'm "sober" is a big deal to me and saying that I'm not or not taking that chip would be a blow for me. I'm really torn.
