Counting days
Hi Everyone
I am just wondering what peoples thoughts are on keeping count of days, weeks months, years etc since they gave up drinking? Do you think it is healthy? Does it distract from the real issues we should be dealing with as recovering addicts? Does it become a numbers game that when we reach our personal best we lose some desire to keep going?
On the other hand after a relapse is it a distraction to start again as the previous personal best number was so hard to get to or seems so far away?
I just wonder if i should be starting to maybe forget counting and just get on with my new life?
I realize that we all enjoy a good pat on the back and need encouragement along our path to recovery and i am one person that has lapped it up during my time here but i just wonder what everyone's thoughts are about this?
