We are in agreement; that's exactly what I am saying.
I also should clarify that I think someone can have excellent sobriety at any point in early sobriety, be it hours, days, weeks, or months. But, using myself as an example and given that today is a new day 1, I don't consider any of my previous periods of sobriety as being particularly high quality - good, maybe, and getting better, I hope.
