I don't get it, sorry Paulos. If a heroin addict was clean for a year then decided to shoot up again would that make sense? Not to me it doesn't. I don't count days, I don't go to AA (but I respect it and the people that do) but I do know that my life began on Sept 1. 2007 and I'm proud to say I'm nearing 2 yrs! I suspect I will always look at my life as before and after that date. I don't need to drink to remind me why I'm sober I just have to look in the mirror.
