I went through a terrible cycle about 1.5 years ago, when I had a calendar and would color the dates "green" on dry days and "red" on drinking days. Then, my AV would look at it and say, "well hey! This isn't so bad, look at all this green!" Problem is, it didn't work, and things became even worse than they had been before. Sometimes, the only thing between me and a drink in the early days has been not wanting to throw away X number of days. Just my opinion, but I think starting fresh at 1, with new resolve to do something different next time, is the way to go.

I agree with your point though. I still have written down my ratio of sober days vs. drinking days from when I was still trying to quit, so I can see how many times I stayed sober during that period.

Hell if I were 365/14 I'd be pretty happy with myself and would be pretty healthy. How much damage could I possibly do in 14 days... I guess it depends on the person, but that would work for me.
