It has always been hard for me to keep track of how many days since I last drank. I am taking that as a sign that it's really not important enough to worry about. I don't know how I will feel as I get close to that one year mark though. I do enjoy milestones
Something else that I have thought of as far as 'sober days' goes, is in giving advice to others. I feel as though I've got it - I know I will never drink again. I am sometimes hesitant to respond to posts of others realizing that my input may not carry a whole lot of weight considering the relatively short period of time since I had my last drink. I can live with that.
So this is really just curiosity I suppose. I consider myself a success now, no matter what others may think, but to the world at large then, what do you think people would consider "success" when it comes to quitting? A year? 5? When do you think you could pose the argument that a method "worked" for you?
