And I don't share your view about sobriety being ordinary. "Ordinary" sobriety is for those without a problem with alcohol. I'm an alcoholic, so my sobriety is not ordinary. It is an achievement. Yet, at the same time, not drinking feels normal, and again, for me, that is an achievement..
yup, for an alcoholic, sobriety isn't ordinary and the hardest thing I have ever worked at achieving.

I know my DOS, but don't know how many days.
I do know the MOST important one,though:
today.
