I remember during one of my ten thousand attempts at quitting, I had something like 84 days and I drank. I told my therapist who told me that I HAD TO start over with counting days. It derailed me to such an extent, that I didn't try again to get sober for another two years. It became too daunting. Too overwhelming.

Just keep trying. Keep making yourself accountable. And never, ever, EVER, stop quitting. Yes, the penultimate goal is consecutive sobriety days.
But, every single day you don't pick up is a gift to yourself. Every.Single.One.

Best to you.
