When it is 16-1-1,000, it won't matter a bit. I'm still pretty new here and I have noticed a focus on counting consecutive sober days, which I guess is the point of all of this. But so many times that slip then back to Day 1 seems a bit harsh to me. But I guess for people like us it has to be a brutal count, because otherwise those little nag-headed voices in our heads will say "Hey, having a 1 thrown in there once in a while isn't going to hurt anything, right?" And then it's not 1. It's another few years of drinking. Nevertheless, I think it is awesome that you are back on Day 2 with 16 additional sober days out of the last 19. You are so much healthier because of that.
