so I slip up and had a little tiny shot im not resetting my time i swear it was only a tiny sip and im still clean from cocaine
I wish I could have a little tiny shot. I know for me I would be doing Cocaine within a week. I just dont have that kind of will power.
The resetting part that is for you. It is your clock and if your counter is based on cocaine only then you can choose whether to reset or not. Its a personal thing for each and every one of us.

Great that youāre still clean from cocaine. Remember what you want for yourself. I have one shot of tequila in my kitchen. A few times I thought I could just finish it, no real harm. But for me, I know Iād have to reset. All or nothing for me.

Actually, the thought of having to reset and having to (wellā¦ not HAVING to, I supposeā¦) admit to all of you that I had to reset is one of the things that helps me NOT to indulge a bit!

its good that you are posting about your slip, just wondering though, do you think you are going to start drinking little sips here and there now and be able to not call them relapses?
Just wanted to get you thinking, because i have been there. Had like half a beer after i got out of outpatient, put the rest of the 6 pack in my fridge and felt so good about myself, fast forward 3 months and im chugging bottles of fireball like they are going out of business.
Stay safe and soberā¦

I thought about one sip but this is my second attempt at staying sober and my relapse started with one sipā¦ I couldnāt do it. Whenever I think āone sipā I look at my tracker and I know I donāt want to have to reset. Christmas made 3 weeks sober for me 
I canāt tell you how proud I am of me but our journey is different. Alcohol has ruled my life for years and if I take that one sip this time I may not make it back alive. Thoughts and prayers are with you ((hugs)) YOU GOT THIS!

For the sake of three days I personally would reset, Iād reset even if it was 300 days to hold myself accountable.
I used to have a drink here or there and kid myself on that I was sober, but I wasnāt.
Itās your choice though

Hey, you do you.
From reading your first few messages, I thought you were saying you just had a few sipsā¦ Of beer. Now that I know it was a shot, I feel thatās more of a fall from sobriety. A half shot is equivalent to half a beer or a half glass of wine. I would consider either of those to be a relapse.
I personally would reset,just my opinion, just my way.

Me too, to be honestā¦ I wouldnāt be happy about it, but I like to think that I would be honest enough with myself that I would hit the old āresetā buttonā¦
Still, none of us has to live in your head, and itās really up to you !
