Thank you for forwarding the email. I read the opinion of David J. Ley about 6 months ago and it infuriated me and still does, The man is an imbecile.
Much Hatzlacha!

I read the title and about three sentences. I didn't need to read more. You know why? because it doesn't make one mashehu of a difference whether some hoydy toydy group of shrinks say "you're not an addict, sexual addiction is impossible". i still have to work my program to get sober and the program still works for me. the sex addiction debate is water under the bridge. for all intents and purposes there are what i call "strugglers" and "addicts", an addict generally needs a much different kind of help for his/her problem while something like taphshic might work for a struggler.

I also have two streaks of sobriety, which the first was 690 with a one night relapse, and then currently 716 days one day at a time.

From a baseball hittin' streak, yes, it was broken in the middle. Relevant to God, yourself and others, it is 1406 (and perhaps more). It is one of the stupid things about this 90 day countin'. If one gets stuck in an elevator for an hour with an object of his desire (I do apologize to all the folk for callin' you objects) and nature takes over, why in the world is he regarded as a zero? Makes no sense to me. Yes, rules are rules, but if it would be up to me, I would think that the numbers highlighted should be the accumulative days clean, and I probably said this once or twice before.
Gotta run, the elevator beeped for my floor. Goin' up (I hope).

There's a difference between relapse and a fall.

Someone that is in active recovery at 90 days+ and has a momentary fall could continue his Clean streak count, whereas relapse should hit the restart button.

That's my humble pie experience.

What's yours?

In concept what is different from a momentary fall and a relapse for the “clean count”?

By relapse I mean unlike a one time fall, but a nice long binge, even with some sporadic good days. 

Again I'm talking my experience.
I had a nice streak of 650 days from Aug 2015-2017. Then relapsed and got up and down and up and down until recently, so now my accumulated days is 1225, how amazing! 

What I'm seeking is long term success, and the beginning of that new journey will be my sobriety date (and a random fall c'v won't shut down the highway).
Maybe I'm on the path already? Possibly, as I wrote at end of 'my story' thank Gd. 

Hope I answered your q'
