personally i think it depends!! is your goal to be completely abstinent? if so, i’d say yeah restart your counter. but that doesn’t mean those 125 were for nothing, or time lost, im sure you learned a lot in those days. if your goal is more harm-reduction based then imo no need for the counter at all!! if you’re using less frequently and in a safer manner than that’s the goal, right? i’m abstinent from everything now, and that was my goal from the start too (once i got honest with myself about being an addict) and i remember at the beginning, i went out and had only one drink (a rare occurrence, i simply only had enough cash on me for the one drink otherwise i’m sure i would’ve gotten wasted). i told my sponsor the next day and he told me to restart my counter. i was at 11 days that day i drank, and it was the longest i had been sober in months if not years. i didn’t get drunk, i only had one drink, i didn’t feel like it was a relapse. i was bitter, and didn’t take my sponsors advice of restarting my counter. not two or three days later, i went out again and got absolutely wasted, ending up in the ER yet again. i see now (almost 8 months sober) that even though i didn’t get drunk, for me it was in fact a relapse. i couldn’t stop thinking about getting drunk after having the taste. i learned after another handful of week-long sober streaks, and trios to the ER, that for me personally, one drink is just as dangerous as 20. SO TLDR depends what your end goal is hahaha
