2,706 days.

I love that I needed to use a sobriety calculator for that. I could NOT stop drinking/drugging and for me to have years of sobriety is amazing.

I agree -- I'm still amazed and very grateful.
3,293 days with clear eyesight.
The thought of having double vision makes me sick today.

1790 days ago, I gave up alcohol.

On this day in 1790, New York gave up its claim to Vermont for $30,000.

Look the abundance of goodness all of us have received at no monetary cost!!!!!!!!

When I quit drinking in 2013 I counted the days.

This time I am not. It only makes me think about drinking.

It is bad enough that everywhere you go you see advertisements for alcohol.

This time I am just saying I don't drink anymore and that is all.

I'm mainly here to encourage others and to show that the days can really add up, if we work whatever "program" we happen to be using.
