just in case there is anyone here who is counting days and is reading, thinking maybe they’re doing it wrong that way, I counted days for the first 90 days or so.
It was motivating for me. I’d never been able to stay sober for long before, and a day count was a tangible reminder that this time was different.
I wasn’t worried about Relapse because I was saving my life.
I wasn’t caught up in breaking Day records or personal bests because I realised pretty quickly this had to be a new way of life, not a fad or something like a diet.
But, yeah, at least initially that day count helped me.
Everyone’s recovery is their own so things will be different for each of us.
