Right. When I try to think about sobriety as a competition, it sounds ridiculously absurd. How would you do that? Usually, the person with the longer sobriety started earlier, but then you have to take age into consideration. I may have started my count when you were four. How could I compare my sobriety time with yours? It would almost be like taking advantage of a four year old. I could hold my longer sobriety over you for the rest of my life, even if you had more by the time you kicked the bucket and I had been dead for 30 years. Yeah, who won that race?
