LOL! Congratulations!

I don't count days, either. I know my anniversary date, but that's all.

Nothin' better than getting really, really locked into sobriety - this often happens around 1 year, or shortly after. The end of the long process of the brain repairing itself (also known as PAWS) helps to create a feeling of peace and stillness within-- no longer counting days is just one manifestation of this.

Thanks for sharing your clean time with us!

I don't count days either, too busy living.

I don't want to spend my time focusing on what I am not doing. I want to be busy DOING things that are worthwhile.

Counting, for me, was counter productive, but I DO understand and respect that it helps others stay focused and bouyant.

I like to count them but I will go days without thinking about it. When I look at the calendar to check my schedule, it reminds me. Really I just know when the 15th of the month rolls around, that's another month. To me it is something I am doing! I love sobriety. Congratulations!

I have also stopped counting days but make a mental note every month.

Nice one with 13 months clean
