Even if i relapse i think i needed that as a reminder that im not missing out on alcohol.
GF,
that's a dangerous thought right there.
leads to the next one: some time in the future i might need another reminder!
or: hm....better check i'm not actually missing anything by not drinking!
how many reminders might be necessary, and at what intervals?
as for re-setting the date: i would. but that's irrelevant. if you don't, you'll be forever saying: i have x numbers of days except for....there will always be that 'except for'.
the thing you might want to give more thought to is that the 230 days you had ended up in a place where drinking wasn't off the table. the 230 days included a drinking option.
this would suggest that the idea of "just do it again" isn't the best way forward without changing the way you've gone about it.
