I'm not sure what that has to do with recovery. You aren't going to think yourself sober. In fact, thinking is often part of the problem as you "think" drinking will be okay.
You said in a previous post that, "
One part of my recovery plan is to post and share on this forum as much as possible." What is the other part of your recovery plan?
As far as the part of the plan about posting to the forum, try doing before you drink from a position of determination rather than afterwards from a position of regret.
