No celebrations, just a nice little milestone.

Hey Outonthetiles, there are some pretty neat names here on the site. I know your name is "out on the tiles", but you see, I learned a few scientific names for plants and animals and stuff, and it occurred to me the scientific pronunciation for your name might be something like "aw tawn they tillees". So what kind of name is THAT???!!! Those science-speak guys never could pronounce anything the way it ought to be. Well, that name belongs to a sober person! Pretty good name, too.

Yep, 1400 days, and you got them all one day at a time, just like we all get our days.

I didn't keep track of how many days I had for a long time, not until I came here in October-something, 2014. I don't know about others, but the longer I was sober, the less it came to mind, sometimes years.

Keep racking up those days! Good job, and thanks for letting us know, too, I think it gives newly sober people hope because if others are doing it, they can, too!

Once upon a time I had 1 day!
Then I had 2 days!
Then I had 7!
Then came 14 days. After that I kind of lost track because I wasn't counting anymore.
I never realized two years arrived and went by because I rarely, if ever, thought about it by then.
One day I realized it had been over five years since I had become sober.
Ten years came and went.
So did fifteen years.
My awareness came back at a little before seventeen years sober in late September of 2014 when I found this site for my buddy's son-in-law. I had to think back and try to figure out just what day it was when I quit. It was on Thursday, October 23, 1997. I had to use an online calendar for that year because my first sober day was on a Friday at the end of the month just after my mother's birthday.
In just a few more hours, it will be 8080 days since October 23, 1997, when I had my last drink, and 8079 days sober. When I had my last drink, I didn't know it was going to be my last drink, it just kind of worked out that way.
