I was just crossing off days in the calendar with an "X" in for no drinking and circle with red if I did drink. It was good seeing all the drinking/non drinking days and I strived for an entire month of "X"'s and eventually got that and more.
But now I have my "Lego Sober House"... this is a little house I designed with Legos and I add a piece each consecutive day I am free of alcohol and benzos.
