Aleric, thanks.
I do get the idea that the strength of the AV or my commitment has nothing to do with the day count. I also get that counting days is somehow related to the AV feeling like it may gets its day. However, I like knowing for now, and celebrating my victory over it for this length.
In a way it gives me strength against the AV instead of the AV thinking that I'm counting days for it. I hope that makes sense.
Probably one day I'll just state I quit drinking on April 25, but not yet..
I did get to that point in 2007, because I had to quit medically and there was no going back. I don't think I ever counted even 2 days then. And I never heard of this method.
