Thanks Luna,
Starting from scratch is extremely depressing.
Adding up them sober days is like counting money in the bank. It makes us happy.
I reset my clock, but I didn't fail.
It is a tool to motivate me to stay clean and teach me some humbleness.
Bragging how I got clean without meds and no real program earns me some comeuppance.
Thanks.
