I don't really track daily...more like monthly. I think I am 265 or 266 days sober as my 9 months will be next Monday. After a year I am going to just track yearly...no more months. I don't really obsess over it. My sponsor does not advocate monthly chips....so I don't get those. And honestly, in the past, I really focused on the daily figure...and I kept relapsing. I think that, subconsciously, I thought that putting down the drink would be enough and that my life would somehow be amazing within a few months. When it wasn't, I drank. This time around I know that is not true. It takes a lot of hard work and soul searching to live a sober, useful life. I didn't put down the drink because I wanted a life free of alcohol...I put down the drink because I wanted a full, happy, useful life. I learned the hard way that I cannot have both alcohol and happiness and fulfillment.
