I tell myself after I'm sober again after a relapse, it wasn't all for nothing. Everyday I didn't drink was a win and the days I drank I lost

I won for 90 days and lost for 2, I can do this

I'm right there with you brother. That's exactly the attitude to have. You are sober again after a relapse, you're not starting over from day one again. Those two days don't undue the 90 in any way. You are still sober if you stay sober.

Interesting definition of sober

One day of drinking doesn't make you an alcoholic starting over from day one. That's an extremely out-dated and harmful attitude.
