occasionally I just like to count days sober

Back to day 9 for me. I stopped counting somewhere after 6 months. That was a mistake. I've had a few times between now and then that I had over 30 days, but after that I slipped up here and there. Back on my antabuse, which seems to be the only thing that really works for me.

I count each day. It's also kind of a reminder to not smoke, drink or use each day. It's a reminder of how far I've come... and where I could be in an instant if I forget the dangers. It's a reminder to be thankful for my sobriety and not take it for granted.
And it inspires me to work on other goals and serves to remind me how far I can come if I take things one day at a time.
I don't think of it in terms of how long I've deprived myself of a substance because I don't feel deprived. I feel thankful for each day sober. It's a reminder not of drinking/using but of sobriety.

Today is 810 day no cigs, 712 no alcohol and 610 no weed. Kind of a trip to go back down memory lane and see where I was when this thread started.
