To me that's over thinking it, like contemplating angels on the head of a pin. I can see how you would feel that way but there's a world of difference between getting wasted drunk and taking the minimal amount of prescribed medication that keeps you from screaming. You're doing fine, I wouldn't call it cheating.
That thought occurred to me recently, that soon you will need a new threat for another new year! Congrats Davey. Getting off the booze is an accomplishment for anyone but a greater feat still given what you're dealing with. I think you deserve to crow a little!
