Question How many seconds have you been sober?

I thought it would be nice for newcomers so see some bigger numbers so.....

How many seconds have you been sober?

Enter your days here CalculateMe.com - Convert Days to Seconds

86 daze = 7, 430,400 oops its more now because life is lived moment by unreatable moment, like a motion picture moving frame by frame into what appears to be one. Really, instead of one day at a time we are clean and sober only in this moment. Moment by unrepeatable moment. Thanks for sharing the calculation page. I calculated my seconds sober a day or two the old fashioned way.

I don't count days, I found it to be more destructive to me than helpful.. I have no idea!

However, if you are interested in this.. there's a sober time calculator on the main SR page too, just enter your sober date and viola!

This thing is impossible. Every time I go to post my answer and try to confirm it it changes.
If it keeps changing every second how am I supposed to post a number?

OK i had to do some math here. I've been sober for 529 Days. So that's = 45705600 Seconds.

One day at a time is how I done it.

I dont count days either. But I do know my clean date. So I counted just now.

38 Days = 3283200 Seconds

I am not impressed. I always go about this long or a month more and then its back to square one. Hopefully not this time.

I will eb impressed with myself when I can get 6 mos at least. Something I have never done.

1018 Days = 87955200 Seconds, but you know the only second that really matters is the one I am living. I take it a day at a time, in early sobriety at times it was a minute at a time, but just staying sober TODAY is how I have done it with the aide of my HP, the program and the fellowship of AA, I sure have not done it on my own, but I have done it by my own choice.
