I use to count but I think it sabotaged me. I am a "bean counter" by day and the more you analyze numbers the crazier things can get. At some point, you can't see the forest through the trees. For me, counting days made me feel like some sort of reward or outcome was nearer once I hit a certain amount of days. In reality, the reward and outcome is the daily blessing of being sober and enjoying the moment now. My twisted addiction mindset somehow made me think and feel that I wouldn't feel better until I hit a certain number of days and that number of days was never today. That in itself would make me relapse. Just me. Everyone is different. Thanks for reading.
