Frankly? I don't believe in the word "slip." FOR ME, I'd either have a drink - or not. (And no I wouldn't likely stop at just a couple). And I would restart my sobriety date. Which would really suck for a lot of reasons, here at 532 days.

I count about once or twice a week now; I did every day for a long time.

To be frank (again), I hear a lot of "negatives" and "nos" and "I won'ts" in your post.

I'm with Dee- for us alcoholics, we either drink or we don't and THAT is what makes the difference, regardless of days, milestones, anything else.

I know that I have to have a plan of ACTION to stay sober and mine is AA - it has become my worldview and life blood, along with my faith. And I'd wish the quality of life I have on everyone on the planet.

Best for your success since you DO have another chance here- I don't believe I would get another if I drank again, so you are fortunate to be with us.

Take care- hope to see you around here. Perhaps like most of us you will find that with complete sobriety our ability to see things clearly improves dramatically.
