90 in 90 [View all]

I had been sober since 2001 from booze. 2 years ago started messing around with pills and 12 days ago I began the clean/sober journey again, and planned a 90 in 90.

Last night I was ill; I'm prone to migraines and I got a doozy last night. No way I could drive to or sit at a meeting. Called up my sponsor and said "Well, I will just hit an extra meeting on Saturday so I can stay on track for my 90 in 90."

He told me that a 90 in 90 REQUIRES at LEAST one meeting a day and if I want to claim I did it, I have to start from one again today. I disagreed, and am carrying a slight resentment about it.

Thoughts?
