E173: What To Do With Your Days After a Slip

I’ve been getting this question a lot recently. People reach out to me who have drank and then they want to know if they have to reset their days. This is a really tough thing to address, and I don’t like to you what to do, but I’d like to offer some perspective in this episode. In this episode I’ll discuss what the day count represents, if you should reset your days or keep your streak going, what I would do with my streak, and what to do after a slip to get back on track.

What to listen to next:

E164: how taking breaks helped me quit for good

E154: keep coming back. Relapse is not the end

E151: why your attempts at quitting drinking aren't working
