24 days and only slipped 2 times (not resetting)

The reason why I am not hitting that reset timer is because I know me. I know that if I hit that reset timer in my mind I’ll know that’s all I’ll have to do when I slip up, and I will keep doing it. Before this app I would of used oxycodone all 24 days. If this doesn’t make sense to you or you don’t agree with it, please keep your mouth shut because your negative opinions are not welcome here. Stay strong, I’m still counting this as day 24 because I am NOT where I was before this app.

Keep going

I have had to hit reset 5 times but for me I love that the days counter works out that actually even though you have faltered overall for the majority of the time you are doing pretty dam well!! Now I know I have my shit together alot of the time n just need to work on what triggers me into drinking on those occasions. Basically I am saying it is whatever works for you, the reset is our option press it or not your still on here making amazing progress. As you say you know you!! Keep strong

Hey @KeepGoing

I did see that you asked for us not to post negative comments, and that’s not what I’m trying to do. Just trying to get our minds running a bit :slight_smile:

So you said that you’re not hitting the reset button because then you will know that pressing reset will be the only consequence. What consequences are there of not hitting the button though?

Usually when people do reset, it makes them feel pretty crappy. BUT they are able to use that feeling to avoid temptation in the future. It also helps with honesty and accountability.

Like I said, I know myself, if I hit the reset button and see the days go back to zero, I’m going to talk myself into not giving a crap and go and try to find some pills, I see 25.30 on there right now and just because I lost 2 days(not back to back either), I still made it 23 days, the number is motivation for me to keep going although I have made a mistake along my journey, everyone does, this is just my way of keeping myself on track, everyone has their way, this is mine, no offense taken from your post either.
