I think so. I remember doing that a lot in the early days, especially during the day (at times when I would ordinarily think "how long 'til happy hour"); I would repeat over and over in my head "I no longer drink". I still do it sometimes when I am getting ready to go out to dinner with friends. I have always found that kind of affirmation/re-affirmation helpful (similar to counting sober days).
