Streak
Recovery language
Definition
The running count of consecutive gambling-free days. A streak is a motivational tool, not a medical measure — its weakness is that a single lapse zeroes a number that represented months of real change, which is why good recovery design keeps the journal, the lessons, and the community intact when the streak resets.
Preferred phrasing
safe to use as written.

The original definition and sourcing warnings are retained. These sources support only the claims identified below, not necessarily the full entry.
Remaining evidence gap: No authoritative source currently cited defines a gambling-recovery streak as consecutive gambling-free days. Claims about motivation, reset meaning, or preserving journals, lessons, and community after a reset remain unsourced; available recovery evidence concerns alcohol-use-disorder recovery and does not define this product term.
