Congrats on 30 days!
Ya know, I've thought about this whole day counting thing and read different views on it and I've come to the conclusion that whatever works is fine.
I think there's a certain wisdom in the AA approach that probably has some grounding in how the human psyche kinda works. In the begining, when it's really hard, you get a kinda immediate gratification... maybe just a way to reinforce a positive behavior. As the habit sets in, we don't need/get the constant pat on the back.
For me, I know I just gradually stopped counting the days. Then I stopped counting the weeks. But I know I am looking forward to my 2 months and I will want a little pat on the back. And I look forward to only wanting to celebrate once a year. I'm willing to just let it happen naturally.
I hope you give yourself a little pat on the back for 30 days! Congrats on the start of an amazing journey!
