When I went to AA, probably my favorite part was at the beginning when people were invited to announce anniversaries. Every time I saw that someone had been sober for several years, I said to myself, "That's going to be me!"

But I've never felt much like counting the days for myself. My sober anniversaries are also the anniversary of the last time I was drunk, which was the worst night of my life. So, I'm not really happy or sad.

It really doesn't matter anyway I think. It's like when I turned 40, I started saying age was just a number, you're only as old as you feel! : but sometimes it is true: it's not how many days you've been sober, it's how you feel now, and how you feel every passing day compared to how you felt when you were drinking.
