Counting days - helpful?

Just wondering people's opinions on counting days. For example, I am on Day 4 today and that sounds like nothing. I find it very discouraging to count days, especially being in AA where celebrations over people's time sober is part of the focus.

I find it to be especially, after having relapsed, a tedious process. Today I've decided I'm just going to mark day 1 on the calendar and then forget about it. To say I am on day 4 makes me feel unbelievably overwhelmed. I don't want to keep doing this or saying it to myself.
