No,I don't think you off set the progress you made. Any day sober is a big progress. And as long as you don't keep on drinking,your withdrawals should be a lot easier if you just stay stopped.
The problem is,three days from now(or anytime in the next week). When the urge comes back again with a vengeance,you might be prone to think aw what the hell,I just can't do this. That is the way I always thought about it anyway.
Carrol used to say those urges only last a few minutes,and she was right. But those minutes seem like an eternity. We all know the first week or two is hell. Thats why it's soo hard to quit. And it's even harder to do alone. For me AA and this board helped immensely. It is a great help to do this with other people that are trying to do the same thing. Doing it alone is tough.
The only thing we have to do is not pick up the first drink. It is that simple. But it is unbelievable how something so simple is soooo difficult.
You ARE making progress.
I wish you the best.
