Does anyone else think there is a difference between a recovery date and a sobriety date? So far SR has been my support so I haven't had anyone really to guide me unless I specifically ask it from one of you. So these comments might seem naïve. I drank 3 drinks after 3 months. It's ended with me getting physically sick so I considered it a lesson and moved on. A couple of months later it was suggested that I changed my sobriety date. It honestly hadn't occurred to me because I didn't feel like I was starting all over. I felt a little angry like it was saying those 1st 3 months didn't count. Mostly I was just felt like a loser because I had used. Now it seems obvious that I should have and I did. But my recovery date to me will always be Feb 10th. That's the day I had my wake up call. As long as I don't go back out that's the day it changed for me. Is that being true to myself or is this one of those times everyone can see it but me?
