Your sobriety date is typically the first day you stopped using. For some, it is the last day they used. Choose what is meaningful to you and be consistent.
This is a personal choice. Many people restart their count after a relapse, but remember: the time you had before still matters. Every day sober contributed to your recovery.
Cravings can intensify around anniversaries, stressful events, or former using times/places. This is normal. Having strategies ready for these moments helps. Reach out for support.
Cravings typically decrease significantly after 90 days and continue fading over years. However, triggers can cause temporary cravings even in long-term recovery. This gets easier to manage with time.
Both approaches work. Counting days motivates many people and provides concrete milestones. Others find it creates pressure. Do what supports your recovery best.
Absolutely! Celebrating achievements reinforces positive behavior and acknowledges your hard work. Share milestones with your support network - they want to celebrate with you.
Recovery is not about being perfect. It is about progress. Be proud of every day you choose yourself.
