I was a "counter" too. Until I found SR, I did not realize how many of the same behaviors we all share.
I would count for the week, for tomorrow, for today; take from the next day due to a special event. I could not shop, travel, visit family, on and on without a pill plan. Crazy behavior, but it seems almost part of the addict ritual. Often thoughts of acquiring the drugs was just as exhilarting as using.
