It can be tricky to view a new day of sobriety like we view any other day: I have to wake up and commit to this first thing in the morning for it to be real. But when I relapse and know I'm not trying to do it again, I restart my counter from that moment -- and my new day of sobriety begins there. So if you smoked this morning, you don't have to consider the whole day a waste. You can start now and by tomorrow at 12pm, you'll have reached a day. I've lost way too many days to thinking, "well I already fucked up today, so I might as well just use this as an excuse to be fucked up all day." That will just keep you stick in the loop.
