Well, you can call it whatever day you want to, I'm certainly not going to lecture you. I'm not sure what kind of pills you were taking, but it does worry me a bit that you are drinking while taking them. As far as starting over goes, hey, we can only take it one day at a time, and I truly believe that. I would say that it is more important to concentrate on the 8 days you had sober than the one you chose to drink, and don't forget it was a choice. On those other 8 days you made a different choice, so try to remember what helped you to make the choice on the 8 sober days instead of the one you chose to drink. Try to take care of yourself and remember just because you drank today doesn't mean you have to drink tomorrow.
