Congrats on your 47 (but now more) days! That is awesome. It's amazing to get sober with someone you love too.
One thing I learned in AA is the phrase "people, places and things". I was taught that in early sobriety especially it's important to avoid those people, those places or those things that make you want to pick up. I had a surprise party for my husband when I was only a few months sober. My sponsor suggested that I didn't even touch the beer/wine to check if it was full or not. (As the hostess, that's one of our jobs, right?) So I had asked a friend to do so for me... Avoiding things like that in early sobriety has helped me to remain sober.
Are you doing 90 in 90 as well?
You are doing a great job... keep at it, one day at a time.
