db yeah, I see myself noticing milestones sober holidays ect, and counting in some contexts is beast activity , but honestly I am 'aware' that "i am not counting" so it is what it is, I am of an age that I would rather not be reminded of my age too
The best thing about counting/not counting are the times when I realize I wasn't doing either, those stretches of unconscious of the fact that I am a purposeful nondrinker. Suddenly being conscious of purposefully being a nondrinker is both good and bad. Good to reflect on my continued resolved , but sometimes a little bad because something tries to make me think that working on it means I haven't "gotten there yet". Just need to remind myself that 'there' is where I will end up , 'here' is where I AM. I like 'here and how' I AM. Plus six mnths , yeah me
