7 weeks sober (49 days) tomorrow. Thrilling.

It’s actually been more like 10 weeks, but 48 days ago I used listerine not remembering alcohol was in it. While of course I shouldn’t count that as drinking, if I don’t count my sober start date as 48 days ago in my mind, my AV will say “well, you already cheated in the past 10 weeks with the listerine, so you might as well drink again.” Nuts, I know. So, 48 days today it is, 7 weeks tomorrow. That’s exciting.

I wanted to drink tonight, I just kept saying to myself “if you want one tomorrow you can have one but not tonight.“ And that’s what I’ll keep saying if the thought pops up. It helps me.

Thanks for listening.
